Abstract
In one embodiment, a charged-particle trajectory measurement apparatus for measuring a trajectory of a cosmic ray muon as a charged particle includes: a plurality of detectors, each of which generates a detection signal at the time of detecting a cosmic ray muon; a signal processing circuit that processes the detection signal from the detector; a time calculator that calculates the generation time point of the detection signal from the detector on the basis of the signal outputted from the signal processing circuit; a trajectory calculator that calculates the trajectory of the cosmic ray muon on the basis of the generation time point of the detection signal and the positional information of the detector having detected the cosmic ray muon, wherein the signal processing circuit and each of the detectors are integrally configured by being coupled to each other.
