MARTA: a high-energy cosmic-ray detector concept for high-accuracy muon measurement

Abstract 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 absor...
