Abstract

The major purpose of this paper is to analyze the rate of events under the different thicknesses of Pb on the top of two cosmic watch desktop muon detectors. The desktop muon detector is a simple, easy-built, and cheap cosmic ray muon detector. Using these detectors, the researchers experimented with different altitudes [2]. In this work, we concluded how the thickness of Pb above the detectors influences the rate of the muon. We placed one-on-top of another detector and changed the thickness of Pb above them. Using the python program, we analyzed a large number of data collected by the two desktop muon detectors systematically. We analyzed the relationship between the muon rate with the thickness and calculated the parameters. The result shows muon rate decreases exponentially as thickness increasing.
