Coincidence Hardware for CosmicWatch Muon Detectors
POSTER
Abstract
While the CosmicWatch desktop muon detector is relatively inexepensive and easy to assemble, the hardware only allows for a total of two detectors to be connected together. More coincidence data could be collected if more detectors could be connected at once, but this requires hardware which does not currently exist on the detectors. We have therefore used the existing CosmicWatch hardware without modification in conjunction with new hardware and software to connect up to 8 detectors together in total.
