Measurement of Muon Flux Density in Osmaniye Region with Scintillator-Based Muon Detector and Effect of Atmospheric Pressure

Öz

This study presents the first experimental measurement of cosmic ray muon flux in Düziçi, Osmaniye, Turkey, using a portable, low-cost scintillation detector with Time-of-Flight (TOF) capability. Over a measurement period of 950400 seconds, the system recorded 42868 events, from which 36437 genuine muons were identified after statistical filtering. The average muon flux at the site was found to be 0.0099 ± 0.0001 cm⁻² sr⁻¹ s⁻¹ at an altitude of 272 meters above sea level. Atmospheric pressure corrections were applied, and the barometric coefficient (β) was determined via exponential fit. The local magnetic latitude (33.7°) and cutoff rigidity (7.17 GV) were also calculated to characterize the site’s geomagnetic environment. The data were also compared with international neutron monitor data. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of portable detector systems for reliable muon flux measurements, and establish a baseline for future cosmic ray studies in the region.
