Description

The goal of this project is to build a working prototype of cosmic ray detector that will serve two purposes. First, it will provide the student in charge of this project an opportunity to perform a classic experiment in physics: measuring the masses of charged cosmic rays. Secondly, and the primary focus of this proposal, is to build and test a sustainable public outreach activity for use in public nights at the Andreas Observatory.
