A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very good space and time resolution. The muon detector is shielded by placing it under another detector able to absorb and measure the electromagnetic component of the showers such as a water-Cherenkov detector, commonly used in air shower arrays. The combination of the two detectors in a single, compact detector unit provides a unique measurement that opens rich possibilities in the study of air showers.

  1. Innovative Approaches to Unravel the Shower Components' Energy Spectrum with a Single Hybrid Station

    hep-ex 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A single hybrid station's multi-detector correlations and a transformer-based muon-direction reconstruction could give access to electromagnetic and muonic shower energy spectra, shown here only in simulation.
