WSE 187 Cosmic Rays and Particle Detectors

Welcome to the Course Resource Page

Students will be introduced to simple detectors which provide an electronic signal whenever a charged sub-atomic particle passes through it. Using a set of these detectors students then will make a series of measurements to help them understand the ever present shower of cosmic rays that reach us. Students will also be introduced to new ideas in computing, with the use of a "wiki" to record results, write reports, and interact with instructors and other students.
