COSMIX, a portable cosmic ray detector Designed and built by the Bordeaux-Gradignan IN2P3 lab (CENBG) 2 scintillator bars reused from Fermi-GLAST R&D, connected to photomultipliers Custom-built electronics GPS & pressure meter LCD screen showing counters Data saved in ASCII format on a SD memory card Cost ~1.5 k€ / briefcase 2 including scintillator bars [free for now as bars reused] Weight < 3 kg total Powered by USB cable, no tuning needed – nor any training Can be connected to a scope to see muon signals One bar is movable and can be superimposed to the other one Study single (C1, C2) vs. coincidence rates (C1 C2) 2
Examples of measurements Scope signals – left: a counter right: coincidence between the counters Plane flights In a flying-club plane (up to 1800 m) In a commercial flight Altitude Pressure Counter rate Counter rate 3
Outlook ~20 COSMIX briefcases to be produced this Summer 3 prototypes built last year and shown in15 high schools (1,000 students) The COSMIX detectors will circulate in high schools (quick rotation) and be used by labs for outreach and communication events: open days, public lectures, etc. Website foreseen to store COSMIX data of special interest Eiffel Tower, high mountain, underground laboratory (Modane), etc. `Hand-made’ production at CENBG Once a year – internship season & need to pass large orders to local companies Enough spare scintillators to build about twice more detectors Not aware of any similar detector – portable and allowing to sense real particles Anyone interested in knowing more about the COSMIX detector?

The ATLAS Collaboration interactive map - I COUNTRIES view All 38 ATLAS countries are colored, according to the ratio “number of ATLAS members / population”, in order to show the involvement of a country in the Collaboration, despite the surface of its boundaries on the map. Explanatory labels make more intuitive the legend keys.
