摘要

A 50 kt Iron CALorimeter (ICAL) has been proposed to study atmospheric neutrinos using Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as the active detector elements. Its proposed location is an underground cavern in a mountain, to reduce the cosmic muon background. A scaled-down (1/600) version of the ICAL called the mini-ICAL has been constructed and is being operated at the IICHEP transit campus in Madurai, for the last few years, to study the construction and performance of the detector and ICAL electronics. In order to study the feasibility of a shallow-depth neutrino experiment a plastic scintillator-based cosmic muon veto detector (CMVD) is being built around the mini-ICAL. This paper will discuss the design and construction of the CMVD and its readout.
