12/25/2023 0 Comments Mus2![]() ![]() At high energy, muons can travel easily through dozens to hundreds of meters of water, solid rock, or soil. Muons are similar to electrons but about 200 times heavier. For such imaging capabilities, a more powerful particle is needed.ĭARPA’s Muons for Science & Security program (MuS2 – pronounced Mew-S-2) aims to create a compact source of deeply penetrating subatomic particles known as muons. But none of these sources can image through concrete walls several meters thick, map the core of a volcano from the outside, or peer deep underground to locate chambers and tunnels. The Defense Department and other federal agencies have sought advanced sources that generate gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, protons, and electrons to enable a variety of scientific, commercial, and defense applications – from medical diagnostics, to scans of cargo containers for dangerous materials, to non-destructive testing of aircraft and their parts to see internal defects. The goals of the MuS2 Proposers Day are to (1) introduce the research community (Proposers, Academia, and Government) to the MuS2 program vision and goals, (2) explain the mechanics of a DARPA program and the milestones of this particular effort, and (3) encourage and promote teaming arrangements among potential organizations that have the relevant expertise, facilities, and capabilities for executing a research and development program responsive to the MuS2 program goals. Note, all times listed in this announcement and on the registration website are Eastern Time. Advance registration is required for viewing the webcast. The Proposers Day will be held via webcast on Augfrom 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is sponsoring a Proposers Day webcast to provide information to potential proposers on the objectives of an anticipated Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Muons for Science and Security (MuS2) program. ![]() Strengthening Resilient Emotions and Nimble Cognition Through Engineering Neuroplasticity.Microantenna Arrays:Technology and Applications (MIATA).Robust Integrated Power Electronics (RIPE).Wide Band Gap Semiconductors for RF Applications (WBGS-RF). ![]()
