  1. SCIPP Balloon Detector

  2. Purpose • To make a project that can be replicated by high school groups • To gather data on Muon count rates at different altitudes • To perform Muon lifetime experiments at high altitudes

  3. Project Outline • An eight foot balloon that can lift a 7.5kg payload • Scintillator Panels collect counts and transfer them to the Quarknet WALTA board • The Quarknet board transmits count data through a serial transmitter to a computer on the ground.

  4. 5v at 800mA 8v at 20mA 3.3v at 215mA 1075mA total Power Requirements • Quarknet Board • PM Tubes and Basses • Wireless Transmitter

  5. Power Diagram 11.1v 2200mA Li-ion Battery 3.3v regulator 5v regulator 8v regulator PMT Basses Quarknet Board Serial Transmitter

  6. Things To Do • Build a box to hold all the instriments • Test the wireless transmitter and battery lifetime • Build power regulator and serial port for transmitter • Put together all the parts and plateau the Scintillators. • Fly the Balloon
