Solar flare pushes back on cosmic ray levels

Throughout the universe, supersonic shock waves propel cosmic rays and supernova particles to velocities near the speed of light. The most high-energy of these astrophysical shocks occur too far outside the solar system to be studied in detail and have long puzzled astrophysicists. Shocks closer to… ... See more

Cosmic Array
Open from 11am to 11pm
Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd Septmber.
FREE EVENT.

Join us for a day and evening experience of an array 16 individual cosmic ray detectors on the Elder Park foreshore in Adelaide. This is a part of the Splash Adelaide 2017 Winter Festival.

Built in collaboration with artist-musicians
@[160284760660809:274:Sacred Resonance] and Robert Hart of @[1119687888043195:274:Hardhack].

When the public come to visit this installation, they will experience how cosmic rays are all around us and arrive in showers of particles. Each detector will seem to randomly twinkle with colours and sounds that are triggered by cosmic rays. The experience will be not unlike walking through a maze of colourful wind chimes.

However, as cosmic rays arrive in showers of particles, some of these detectors will trigger in unison and others randomly. A similar experience to what can be witnessed in nature like the sounds of Cicadas or the flashing light of Fireflies, where both sound and light fade in and out from randomness into unison.

Cosmic Rays have been present throughout the entire evolutionary history of life on our planet and so this display reinforces our connection with the universe and the importance of science and understanding the natural world.

However, the project has no agenda other than the first of what we hope are thought-provoking art/science installations. Which will provide an interesting window into the universe and the natural world around us, leaving the observer to form their own connections and conclusions.

The cosmic ray tagger is the first of SBND's subdetectors to be completed and operational.

The first ever Cosmic Ray experiment.
In 1901 CTR Wilson (inventor of the “Cloud Chamber” and Nobel Prize winner in Physics) carried out an experiment in this long railway tunnel to check for the existence of cosmic radiation. He had to work at night when the trains were off. Today there are no rails or trains but it is still very dark inside. ... See more

Got a mention on the Hackaday blog, the journalist has done a good job of reinterpreting the information about my project.

Thanks to CERN and their work in detecting the Higgs Boson using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), there has been a surge of interest among many to learn more about the basic building blocks of the Uni... ... See more
