Cosmic Ray Astronomy

The basics required for a cosmic ray (muon) detector are:

• At least two detectors which can measure ionizing radiation.
• A jig to hold detectors one above the other.
• Some non-ferrous shielding to go between the detectors.
• Electronics to monitor coincidence between the two or more detectors.
• Electronics to monitor and/or display when a  coincidence has occurred between the two or more detectors.
