Cosmic RayMuonDetector The cosmic ray muon detector (CRMD) is a particle detector, which can detect and observe products of cosmic ray particles, which are created and accelerated by very violent mechanisms in the Universe. The CRMD at RPL is one of its kind, and was built in 2011 by bachelors' degree level students. It is the only detector of its type running in entire ASIA. The materials to build the detector were imported fromFermi Lab (USA). 139
