From: Jack Cole * Dirt Cheap Muon Detector Puts Particle Physics Within DIY Reach http://flip.it/0.QD-k This device is seeing one muon per second at sea level in Boston. The actual flux is about 150 per second, so the detector is less than 1% efficient. It would be most interesting

It is an interesting design using a solid state photomultiplier, but really it is a charged particle + gamma detector with no discrimination. It is listed as detecting cosmogenic muons because they are the most likely cosmic ray detection at the surface of the Earth. On Sun, Oct 16, 2016 at 7:42

Correction – the standard muon flux 10,000/m^2 at sea level – so the flux is based on a square meter and the box looks to be far less area – so it could be perhaps 10-20% efficient. From: Jack Cole Ø Dirt Cheap Muon Detector Puts Particle Physics Within DIY Reach http://flip.it/0.QD-k

Speaking of muons, here is an off-the-wall observation about the cross-connection of LENR with “ultra-dense hydrogen”… via an internally borrowed lepton which happens to be of the correct mass-energy value. It avoids most of the problems of finding a nuclear nexus for the energy gain in LENR,
