CosmicWatch

The CosmicWatch team is preparing for the Near Space Conference 2018 http://nearspace.pl/
Two detectors will be sent in a high altitude balloon flight to measure cosmic rays produced in our atmosphere. Stay tuned for more news!

Read interesting article about CosmicWatch project by Jennifer Chu. Enjoy!

Paper describing first version of our muon detector was publish by American Journal of Physics, you can read more here: http://aapt.scitation.org/doi/10.1119/1.5003806

Welcome to CosmicWatch project! it's a little device which can catch muons - small particles coming from the sky.
You can build it yourself - it's easy and inexpensive!
