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…
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…
Probing Cosmic Ray Composition and Muon-philic Dark Matter via Muon Tomography
Cheng-en Liu, Rongfeng Zhang, Zijian Wang +11
This work presents a novel cosmic-ray scattering experiment employing a Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) muon tomography system. By introducing the scattering angle between incident…
Revealing Secondary Particle Signatures in Muography Based on the Point of Closest Approach Algorithm
Rongfeng Zhang, Zibo Qin, Cheng-en Liu +4
This work reinterprets so-called 'noise' in cosmic ray imaging, indicating that the data of reconstructed Points of Closest Approach (PoCA points) outside the volume of interest de…
