Description
Welcome to the QuarkNet Center at the University of Hawaii. We serve teachers on the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaii QuarkNet Annual Report 2021-2022
There are five cosmic ray detectors currently in Hawaii but
not all take data regularly. About ten high school physics
teachers actively participated before the pandemic. Only one
event (CMS Masterclass on 12 March 2022) has been held since 2020.
Here is the agenda page that Shane Wood from QuarkNet and Tiffany Coke
from Punahou have pieced together for the Saturday, March 12

Parameterization of Flux Graphs
Emi Ahlo - Kamehameha Schools Kapalama, Honolulu, HI
Using flux graphs, the reliability of a Student Cosmic Ray Detector can be identified. Analysis of
numerous detectors with a variety of geometry and parameters have produced specific detector data
characteristics that identify reliable detectors. The two most telling properties are a horizontal best fit
line in the flux plots, and no more than 15% of a deviation from that line.
