From Earth to Mars and Beyond: AI-Driven Cosmic-Ray Validation and Prediction with CorsikaAgent
Zhuo Chen, Zhizheng Zhao, Jinhong Shen +5
We calculate the sea-level cosmic-ray muon flux with CORSIKA and develop CorsikaAgent, an auditable large-language-model-based system for configuring, executing, and validating air…
Future Muon Physics Experiments: Muon Beams and Experimental Apparatus
Yi Yuan, Leyun Gao, Jian Tang +1
Muons are powerful probes of fundamental physics at the precision and intensity frontiers. We review the status and planned upgrades of muon-beam facilities worldwide, together wit…
Projected Sensitivity to Slow Muonphilic Dark Matter with Accelerator Muon Beams
Rongfeng Zhang, Cheng-en Liu, Ruihu Zhu +9
The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the most enduring open questions in modern physics, and muonphilic DM has emerged as a promising scenario that complements traditional…
The muon Moonshot: Moon subsurface tomography with upward-going muons
Zimo Hu, Leyun Gao, Zhengyun You +6
We propose a novel muon Moonshot concept for lunar subsurface tomography based on upward-going muons originated from the lunar regolith. Unlike the Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosph…
Nuisance-Aware Muon Tomography
Zhizheng Zhao, Changhao Qin, Rongfeng Zhang +5
Cosmic-ray muon scattering tomography can image dense, shielded, or inaccessible objects without an artificial radiation source. In a compact magnet-free tracker, however, each acc…
Projection-shifted particle-flow imaging with cosmic-ray muons
Zibo Qin, Qite Li, Rongfeng Zhang +5
Cosmic-ray muons are natural probes for non-destructive imaging, but reaching sub-millimetre resolution with realistic exposure times has long been hindered by a fundamental limita…
CANTON- Proposal: A Next-Generation Muon Measurement at Sub-0.1 ppm Precision
Ce Zhang, Yu Xu, On Kim +10
We propose a next-generation precision measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2) at the High Intensity Heavy-Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in Huizhou, China. W…
Search for light Dark Sectors with GeV Muon Beams
Zijian Wang, Leyun Gao, Zhuo Chen +10
Sub-GeV light dark matter often requires new light mediators, such as a dark boson in the gauge theory. We study the search potential for such a boson via…
