BioMuon Experiment (Bioμ): Review of Studies on Biological Impact of High-Energy Muons and Research Prospects / M.Zarubin, V.Pikalov, A.Gangapshev. – Text : electronic // International Journal of Radiation Biology. – 2025. – Vol. 101, No. 12. – P. 1169-1180. – URL: https://doi.org/10.1080/09553002.2025.2560882. – Bibliogr.: 126.

The biological impact of high-energy muons (1–104 GeV) is insufficiently studied experimentally. However, these elementary particles are of great significance for fundamental and applied research. In this paper, the main types of biological studies related to high-energy muons are outlined and briefly reviewed those in: radiation biophysics performed with muon beams, biological effects of secondary cosmic radiation and low background radiation, radioecology related to the production of cosmogenic isotopes, and also astrobiology and applied research. The lack of progress in this field is linked to technological and methodological limitations. Therefore, we propose to use a combined experimental approach of both deep-underground low-background laboratories (no effects) and high-energy muon beams (intensify effects). The BioMuon experiment (Bioμ) is designed to study the biological impact of high-energy muons on biological organisms and to develop new applications of these elementary particles. Two facilities will be used – the muon beamline of the U-70 Proton Synchrotron (IHEP NRC Kurchatov Institute, Protvino) and the deep-underground low-background laboratory DULB-4900 (Baksan Neutrino Observatory, INR RAS, Neutrino village). Model organisms will be exposed to chronic low-dose irradiation (2 ± 1 GeV muons) and to low-background conditions. The sensitivity and stress responses of model organisms exposed to different radiation conditions will be studied mainly with a highly sensitive transcriptomic technique and interpreted via the comparative transcriptome analysis
