WALTA学校网络cosmic ray探测器
WALTA school-network cosmic ray detectors
摘要：
华盛顿地区大规模时间符合阵列（WALTA）正在西雅图地区的中学放置粒子探测器阵列，以建立一个大规模超高能宇宙射线探测器网络，这是世界各地几个此类项目之一。与内布拉斯加大学林肯分校的CROP小组合作，从CASA实验中抢救出来的闪烁计数器由教师和学生翻新，测试，校准，并安装在高中场地的四重阵列中。为了识别时间重合，采用GPS时间同步系统。使用定制的低成本数据采集卡采集数据。在这里，我们将描述WALTA的物流，并显示在华盛顿大学的原型阵列的数据样本。
英文摘要：
The Washington Area Large-scale Time coincidence Array (WALTA) is placing particle detector arrays in secondary schools in the Seattle area to build up a large-scale ultra-high energy cosmic ray detector network, one of several such projects around the world. Scintillation counters salvaged from the CASA experiment in cooperation with the CROP group at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln are refurbished by teachers and students, tested, calibrated, and installed in four-fold arrays at high school sites. To identify time coincidences, a GPS time synchronization system is employed. Data are acquired using a custom lowcost data acquisition card. Here we will describe the logistics of WALTA and show samples of data taken with a prototype array at the University of Washington.
