Courses

CEB558/PHY315: Hands-On Science with Cosmic Rays. PHY315 is being taught by Mike Marx and Dima Vavilov in the Spring 08 for teachers and undergraduates providing a hands on, inquiry approach to science research. An article about the course has been published in the November issue of Physics World.

WSE187: Cosmic Rays and Particle Detectors/Basic Processing of Radio Signals. Mike Marx and Monica Bugallo teach a new crop of MARIACHI's in WISE 187 in Spring 08.

PHY579: Special Topics for Physics Teachers. Offered by Helio.

MARIACHI Data Analysis

John Hover released a basic web analysis tool which can graphically present subsets of data from different ground array locations.

Isaac, Intel semi-finalist!

Isaac Degani from Wellington Mepham HS, in Bellmore, NY is a 2007-2008 Intel Science Talent Search competition semi-finalist.

The MARIACHI Teaching Lab

Located in the former control room of the Stony Brook Nuclear Structure Laboratory, is available to host classes from middle school through high school. Programs can be tailored to the interests of teachers and students. The Riverhead HS Research class visited the Teaching Lab for the second time on January 8, 2008. A research class from Half Hollow Hills visited on March 8th. A physics class from Smithtown HS visited June 3rd, while two other Smithtown classes analyzed cosmic ray data and posted results here.
