A.D.O.MFinal Presentation Anna Chang
Experiment • Launch a balloon to determine a difference in muon count rate • Compare with count rate at sea level and at ground level
Data From Launch • Data on the ground for 30 minutes • Took readings every 2 minutes and calculated the rate • Average count rate of 4.16 Hz
Data From Launch Average= 4.10 Hz Letting line out Reached max height Wind picked up Resumed reeling Stopped reeling in, wind slowed Reelingin
Compared to… • Data at LuLu’s Café at sea level • Data outside the Natural Sciences building
Conclusion • Data collection was successful despite the errors. • The low count rate of the aerial data could be due to the wind that blew the balloon at an angle thereby reducing the altitude
Next Year • Do a quick check for light leaks • Check with my plateau graphs • Make sure batteries are charged • Investigate GPS problem, the cable is broken
