Description

The TAIGA-Muon scintillation array is located in the Tunka Valley and is a part of the single TAIGA experimental complex. Its construction started in the summer of 2019. By the autumn of 2019, the first three clusters were installed, consisting of 8 ground and 8 underground scintillation detectors each. Now the equipment is being adjusted and customized. TAIGA-Muon scintillation detectors were developed by scientists of Novosibirsk State University specifically for the harsh temperature conditions of the Tunka Valley. They will expand the capabilities of the current Tunka-Grande scintillation array and increase the efficiency of the search for ultra-high-energy gamma rays. The report describes the design of the TAIGA-Muon array, the reading, data acquisition and control system.
