“…The bars of the ML have a hole whereby a WLS fiber is inserted and coupled to a MAPMT as described in Section 2, the MAPMT's have a maximum quantum efficiency (QE) of 25%. We followed the characterization of the bar materials and properties reported in [8,10], and used the QGSP BERT model for particle interactions, [11]. Based on this set up, we calculated the efficiency of the ML to detect muons.…”

The Scibar Cosmic-Ray Telescope (SciCRT) is a brand new detector of the Sierra Negra Cosmic Rays Observatory (SN-CRO). It is designed to observe solar neutrons and the muon background produced by galactic cosmic rays. In this work we present a Geant4-based simulation of the muon detection efficiency of the SciCRT; for this purpose we injected 10 5 muons, in an energy range from 100 to 1000 MeV, impinging the SciCRT array. Our results provide new information about the SciCRT performance and may be used to study variations in low energy galactic cosmic rays.

The Scibar Cosmic-Ray Telescope (SciCRT) is the most promising detector of the Sierra Negra Cosmic Rays Observatory (SN-CRO). At this location, being a target and a tracker of secondary cosmic rays, the SciCRT offers a high probability of observing solar energetic particles and lower energy galactic cosmic rays (LEGCR); also, it allows the identification of incoming particles by measuring their energy deposition. In this work we present a Geant4-based simulation of the energy deposited by neutrons, $$\gamma $$ γ -rays, protons, electrons and muons in the optimally running SciCRT components. We also calculated the detection efficiency of the SciCRT at its current state. Our simulation results provide new information about the SciCRT detection response that may be used as a basis to estimate and analyze the energy spectra of primary particles.
