ABSTRACT
This article reports the development of a muon monitoring system that utilizes SiC p+n junction diodes as the primary sensing element, integrated with FPGAs for signal processing and control. The system will be designed to detect muons, which are subatomic particles that penetrate deep into materials and have applications in various fields such as particle physics, geology, and radiography. The use of SiC p+n junction diodes is advantageous due to their high radiation hardness, fast response time, and low noise characteristics, which make them well-suited for high-energy particle detection. The FPGAs will provide real-time signal processing capabilities, enabling efficient data analysis and monitoring. This FPGA-based detector system has the potential to provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for muon monitoring applications.
