Muon Spectrometer

The Muon Spectrometer is a specialized detector used in particle physics experiments to identify and measure muons—particles similar to electrons but heavier. It works by tracking muons as they pass through layers of detectors and magnetic fields, allowing scientists to determine their trajectories and energies accurately. This information helps researchers study fundamental particles and forces, and understand phenomena like the behavior of matter under extreme conditions. The spectrometer’s precise measurements are essential for exploring the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
