Muon Detector

Projects Discussion and Showcase Science and Measurement

Hi All

So I built a muon detector using a couple of Arduino mega boards. Muons come from cosmic rays banging into atoms in our upper atmosphere. Google it if you are interested. I used the Arduino ethernet sheild board to display counts on a website. Here is the address.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Ok, the power supply in my muon detector died so the web site is broken. Trust me...it was very cool.

Bummer.

Here's the original article: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.01196.pdf

Perhaps "original" was reaching a bit. 13 years earlier: Design and construction of new central and forward muon counters for CDF II - ScienceDirect

Is it hard to replace a power supply?
