Description
The Multipurpose Detector of Muons (MDM) has been developed at MEPhI. The setup consists of four layers of multiwire drift chambers and two steel absorber layers with thickness of 100 mm and 200 mm each. This configuration enables registration and analysis of both single-particle and multi-particle events within a zenith-angle range of 0°– 60°.
The detector is designed to investigate the flux of muon bundles both on its own and in conjunction with other installations of the Experimental complex NEVOD. In addition, the MDM can serve as a precise test bench for studing of the spatial characteristics of charged-particle detectors.
To check the detector’s capabilities in studying muon bundles, a detailed model of the setup was developed using the Geant4 simulation toolkit. The simulations employed events generated by CORSIKA, where extensive air showers were modeled over a broad range of primary energies and zenith angles. The simulated data were processed using reconstruction methods adopted in experimental analysis. The report presents the main stages of simulation and reconstruction and discusses the obtained results.
