Objectives

Participating teachers will:

1. Engineering process to design holders and mobile devices to detector mobility.
2. Muon velocities
3. Muon logivity
4. Engineering design and robotic processes, building a mobile device to transport to locations.
5. Introduction study into Electrostatics - Coulomb's Law
6. Elevation detection of muons
7. Material to slow muon detection

Use of Quarknet equipment and resources

1. Address measurement uncertainties through setup and data collection from a 24 hour run.

2. Kinematics-

    Time of flight analysis from 24 hour run data.  Using distance, estimate average speed of particles.

    Using known rest half-life, estimate depth in earth at which muon signal should disappear.

“Our mission is to create opportunities for teachers and students to explore the nature of scientific research. Using cosmic ray muon detectors, participants design and perform experiments to analyze data employing the cosmic ray e-lab.”

  Learning objectives.

a.   Configure a cosmic ray detector appropriately for acquisition of data for calibration and analysis of measurements.
