What is a muno and what is a scintillation?
What is a muno and what is a scintillation?
Solution
I suppose you were to ask about Muon and not Muno.
To put it simply, Muons are sub-atomic particles, and do not consitute any other known particle,
that is, they are fundamental particles. Muons are similar to electrons but heavier, in fact, 207
times heavier than electrons.
Muons are fundamental particles, still very unfamiliar for the fact that they are radioactive and
decay with an afterlife of 1.5 millionth of a second. Muons decay into an electron and two
neutrinos as per:
µ ---> e+ e + µ [muon ---> electron + electron antineutrino + muon neutrino]
Scintillation refers to the flashes that appear on a scintillation counter whenever a particle passes
through them. Scintillation counters exist for gamma, x-ray, beta, and alpha radiation. By the
amount of Scintillation energy produced, we can predict the properties of the particles.
