Data Analysis in Muon Detection
ORAL
Abstract
We are building a muon telescope to measure the angular dependance of the muon flux created by cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere. For this purpose, we purchased multiple CosmicWatch compact muon detectors from a commercial source and arranged them in pairs in a 3-d printed telescope body of our design. I will first talk about the design and printing of the telescope body. Then, I will describe my work to combine the detectors to characterize and analyze the muon flux data.
