Toward the Detection of Relativistic Image Doubling in Water Cerenkov Detectors

When a gamma or cosmic ray strikes the top of Earth's atmosphere, a shower of secondary particles moves toward the surface. Some of these secondary particles are charged muons that subsequently enter water Cerenkov detectors (WCDs) on the ground. Many of these muons, traveling near the speed of...
