Cosmic Ray Detector
Project |
|
|
|
| The teachers and students will work
on a
collaborative project to construct a cosmic ray detector designed by
Lawrence
Berkeley Labs. The detectors, described more fully below, consist of
twin
scintillation paddles, photomultiplier tubes and associated
electronics,
and detects incident cosmic rays. Due to the complexity of the task and
the
short time-frame, the work will be done collaboratively with groups
responsible
for either scintillation paddle preparation, electronics or
construction/testing
of the detectors.
The detectors will be used by different teacher/student research groups to
explore different kinds Physics experiments studying cosmic rays.
