The paper describes two Monte Carlo codes dedicated to muon simulations: MUSIC (MUon SImulation Code) and MUSUN (MUon Simulations UNderground). MUSIC is a package for muon transport through matter. It is particularly useful for propagating muons through large thickness of rock or water, for instance from the surface down to underground/underwater laboratory. MUSUN is designed to use the results of muon transport through rock/water to generate muons in or around underground laboratory taking into account their energy spectrum and angular distribution.

  1. Characterisation of the Bedretto Underground Site for Fundamental Physics Experiments

    astro-ph.IM 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Bedretto tunnel's ~4000 m.w.e. depth, low muon flux, and very low seismic/magnetic noise make it a strong candidate for a European deep-underground physics laboratory.
