Abstract
Low Cost Muon Telescope (LOCOMOTE) is a low-cost charged particle detector. Each LOCOMOTE unit includes two pieces of BC408 (2"*2"*1") scintillators, Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM), and digital logic circuits. The cost of each LOCOMOTE unit is approximately 200 US dollars and is mainly used as a teaching instrument for high school students in cosmic ray education. Each LOCOMOTE unit can be connected to the network, and data from different units can form a ground array to measure high-energy cosmic ray events. In this report, we present the performance verification of the Telescope, including the measurement of cosmic muon angular flux and the feasibility of muon tomography using multiple Telescopes.
