Description
Muons are a present background radiation in most of the underground experiments, due to their small nuclear interaction cross-section and high kinetic energy. In rare-event experiments, like COSINE-100U, which searches for dark matter nuclear interactions, muon detectors play an important role as secondary veto detectors, where all muon-coincidence events with the NaI(Tl) crystals are discarded. In this work, we developed an alternative construction of a plastic-scintillator-based muon detector with the addition of wavelength-shifter optical fibers to provide position information, allowing the study of muon trajectories, with the possibility of future muography studies. The results of the muon detection efficiency and first position calculation algorithms will also be presented.
