Presentation Transcript

  1. THE COSMIC RAY TELESCOPE (MUON DETECTOR) • Goal: To measure muon production altitude

  2. Muon Production • Muon production altitude • High energy protons (Cosmic Rays) • Secondary particles • Muons • half life

  3. Muon Detection • Scintillator Paddle • Material • transparent polystyrene plastic • fluor

  4. Muon Detection • Moun interaction • excitation • photon emission

  5. Muon Detection • Photomultiplier tube (pmt) • photoelectric effect • photoelectron multiplication • Amplified signal

  6. Problem Solving

  7. Emitted photons to pmt • Total internal reflection • shape • polishing • aluminum foil • Glueing

  8. Emitted photons to pmt

  9. False signals • Light shroud • Double paddles

  10. Soldering / “Board Stuffing” • Reading Schematic • Solid connections (avoiding open and short circuits)

  11. Muon Production Altitude • Scintillator orientation and double paddles
