First upward-going muon Event: Dec 14 1918 08:31:10 Baksan neutrino experiment is in operation from Dec. 1978. Registration method: time-of-flight X – Z view Y – Z view t4=45ns t3=35ns t2=19ns t1=8ns First upward-going muon Event: Dec 14 1918 08:31:10 BNO 50
Live time (Dec 1978 ÷ May 2017): 31.05 years In 1978 ÷ 2000 years two hardware triggers are used in order to reject downward going atmospheric muons. Trigger I covers the zenith angle range 95 ÷ 180 while trigger II selects horizontal muons in the range 80 ÷ 100 . The hardware trigger efficiency of 99% has been measured with the flux of atmospheric muons. Since 2000 no use any hardware triggers. Live time (Dec 1978 ÷ May 2017): 31.05 years Upward-going muons (νμ events): 1635 — triggered + non-triggered Horizontal muons: 592 events , triggered + non-triggered BNO 50
