  1. S. Muanza, CPPM Marseille Lab Practice: « Cosmic Wheel »Measuring Cosmic Muons at ASP2014 Lab Practice: "Cosmic Wheel"

  2. I propose to run a lab practice on detectingcosmic muons, in replacement of Ulrich’ssimilarprojectthatwaseventuallycanceled • There’s a devicemeant for that, whichwas • designed at IN2P3 (Marseille & Bordeaux) • isbuilt in mylab (CPPM) • It’scalled the « Cosmic Wheel » (« Roue Cosmique ») • It’s a muon telescope: • Small, Portable, Simple, Robust • We use it in outreach programs (mostly in high schools) • It serves to introduce: • Particle and astroparticlephysics • Illustration of specialrelativity • Particledetection (as a function of azimut) • Small scale module for: • Trigger & data acquistion • Analysis Lab Practice: "Cosmic Wheel"

  3. Apparatus description: • Made of 3 plastic scintillators (30cm x 15cm x 1cm) • Eachscintillatorcomeswith: • a light guide • a 2-inch PMT • electronics • desktop running Labview • Mylabalsoproduces a box for the transportation: • Size: 100cm x 70cm x 60cm • Weight: ~40 kg • Cost: ~5k€ • It seemsdifficult (impossible?) to considersea-freight for this, will have to shipthrough air-freight • CNRS has a national platform for transportation calledUlisse and based in Annecy • I askthem to draw a costestimate for the transportation to Dakar & pick-up at CPPM • In this case we’ll have to transfer money from the Team Account at CERN to CPPM to pay for the transportation • CERN has also a transportation service • In this alternative, we’dpay via the T.A. • But, it’smuch longer and complicated for the pick-up • Ask the LOC to pick-up the device in Dakar airport and to transport it to UCAD (ITNA / PhysDpt) Lab Practice: "Cosmic Wheel"

  4. Ask the LOC: • to pick-up the device in Dakar airport and to transport it to UCAD (ITNA / PhysDpt) • probablyaroundlatejuly (TBC) • IOC aims: to buy the devicesothatitcanremainsafter ASP2014 Lab Practice: "Cosmic Wheel"
