After months of hard work by the ZIRC project team, a setup for measuring the atmospheric muon’s polarization is now operating! Looking forward to extracting important information for subsequent studies related to muon polarization.
The setup consists of 4 planes of detectors where each plane has an array of 6 plastic scintillators Each scintillator is light-readout by a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), and the signals are processed using a CAEN DT5702 digitizer.
