Now the Dark Electron Multiplier does sense direction of the daemon motion

TL;DR

This study demonstrates that a specialized dark electron multiplier can detect the direction and flux of daemons in near-Earth orbits, revealing their velocity decrease over time as they transit through Earth.

Contribution

Introduction of a novel detection method using dark electron multipliers to identify and analyze daemon flux and motion direction near Earth.

Findings

Detected daemon flux with >3 sigma confidence level.

Recorded decrease in daemon velocity from ~10 km/s to ~7 km/s.

Confirmed the ability to sense daemon motion direction.

Abstract

Detection of the September maximum in the primary near-Earth daemon flux at high (~60o) Northern latitudes by our set-up with a plane horizontal scintillator is plagued by purely geometric factors; indeed, because of the Earth's rotation axis being tilted, the daemons catching up with the Earth in outer Near-Earth, Almost Circular Heliocentric Orbits (NEACHOs) strike the Earth along close-to-horizontal paths. Nevertheless, application of only two oppositely oriented, specially designed "dark electron multipliers" of the type TEU-167d (only their dia.125-mm front disc is coated on the inside by a thick, ~0.5 um Al layer, which permits such multipliers to detect primarily daemons flying inside them from the base to the disc) has made it possible for us to detect in one experiment, at a confidence level of >3 sigma, a flux of daemons captured from NEACHOs into Geocentric Earth-Surface-Crossing Orbits, as well as to record a decrease in the velocity of these objects from ~10 to ~7 km/s in a characteristic time of ~1 month resulting from their being slowed down in transits through the Earth's body.
