I have been thinking about building a Muon based RNG device ever since watching an Alpha Phoenix video on Youtube. It seemed like such a cool way to have a direct connection to both sub-atomic and astronomical scales. I mulled the idea around for ~2 years and finally decided to pull the trigger.

I haven't designed a circuit from scratch since high school, but I have done a number of repairs on analog equipment working as a sound engineer over the years, so the first thing I wanted to do was draw out the schematics to make sure I understand everything and can start preparing myself mentally for dealing with analog components without an instruction manual. Specifically because the 2x (I've updated the design to use 4x, not pictured in these drawings) high voltage boosters are not something you can really troubleshoot on the breadboard without burning the rest of the hardware. 

Next week: the digital chain on breadboard, validated with a synthetic pulse injector before any HV comes near it.
