RE: [Vo]:Re: The appearance of muons are explained by SPP theory.Yes, it does Jones. I think what is happening, is that a substantial number of muons are starting to decay (about 5-6 GeV, 2.2 us half life, but relativistic, and Earth frame of reference), unloading/depositing the bulk of their energy in the covered levels of the Parking Garage, or after 3 blocks/plates of lead thickness or so. It’s not good to be under the first several tiers (less than about a meter or two of concrete) of a Parking Garage as far as cosmic muons, go. If you’re on top of the garage, the number of muons decaying in you (depositing damaging radiation), will be less than the impeded muons by moderate amounts of concrete ... Of course if the amount of concrete is substantial, then the brunt of muons will have decayed away. If you check out the thesis/reference I placed at the bottom, you will see in the simulations based mainly on the Bethe-Bloch Equation (for radiation stopping power of heavy particles like muons) etc., that radiation dose increases with small amounts of concrete above the human body.
Another interesting factoid from the thesis: Outside, your stomach (torso) area takes the most radiation dosage from vertically-delivered cosmic muons... ugh... ... As far as densities go, the whole Earth atmosphere is about equal to 10 meters of water (Human Body?), 2 m of Rock (Concrete?) or 0.9 m of Lead. Recall that the speed of light in vacuum is about 1 foot per nanosecond. That’s about all ya need (besides the stuff mentioned above) to crunch it all out, roughly... http://scholarworks.gsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1013&context=phy_astr_diss - Mark Jurich From: Jones Beene Sent: Saturday, August 08, 2015 3:21 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:Re: The appearance of muons are explained by SPP theory. From: Mark Jurich One of the references below, demonstrates what happens when you let some Purdue Students loose in/on a Concrete Parking Garage. Mark, this reference agrees to some extent with the earlier one (with lead plates to absorb muons, or not). Quote: “It was expected that the count rate would be highest on the rooftop when there was no obstruction between the sky and the detector; however, it was measured to be significantly lower...” Go figure…
