CosmicWatch台式μ子探测器:一种独立的袖珍粒子探测器

The CosmicWatch Desktop Muon Detector: a self-contained, pocket sized particle detector

Spencer N. Axani, Katarzyna Frankiewicz, Janet M. Conrad

摘要:

CosmicWatch桌面μ子探测器是一个独立的手持式宇宙射线μ子探测器,对天文/粒子物理学研究应用和推广很有价值。每个探测器的材料成本低于100美元,初学者大约需要四个小时来构建他们的第一个探测器。探测器通过USB连接供电,数据可以直接记录到计算机或microSD卡。提供基于Arduino和Python的软件来操作探测器和在线应用程序来实时绘制数据。在本文中,我们描述了各种设计功能,评估的性能,并通过提供几个示例测量来说明检测器的功能。

英文摘要:

The CosmicWatch Desktop Muon Detector is a self-contained, hand-held cosmic ray muon detector that is valuable for astro/particle physics research applications and outreach. The material cost of each detector is under $100 and it takes a novice student approximately four hours to build their first detector. The detectors are powered via a USB connection and the data can either be recorded directly to a computer or to a microSD card. Arduino- and Python-based software is provided to operate the detector and an online application to plot the data in real-time. In this paper, we describe the various design features, evaluate the performance, and illustrate the detectors capabilities by providing several example measurements.
