Studies of μ's Underground with the Soudan 2 Tracker
Abstract
During the period July 1987 through March 1988, a section of the Soudan 2 active shield known as the Tracker recorded approx. 250,000 muon tracks. The detector is located in the Tower-Soudan State Park in Soudan, Minnesota USA at a depth of 2090 meters-water equivalent. The data collected was analyzed and time dependent astronomical sources were sought. Distributions in azimuthal and zenith angles as well as declination and right ascension are shown.
