1. Cosmic Ray e-Lab Bob Peterson Fermi National Accelerator Lab

2. Teaching and Learning with Cosmic Rays Workshop Objectives: Assemble CRMD: plateau, geometry, data-take. Design e-Lab investigation: data, tools, plots. Begin poster, present results. Discuss implementation strategy.

3. Teaching and Learning with Cosmic Rays Por el gran parte del taller, estamos alumnos. Podemos tener la experiencia del “CR e-Lab” con la vista de un alumno Aprender bazado en investigacion

5. Teaching and Learning with Cosmic Rays QuarkNet hace collaboraciones: Profesores  Alumnos Profesores  Fisicos (Mentores) Colegios con detectores  Colegios sin detectores Y redes mundiales: Alumnos  Alumnos Profesores  Profesores …y mas

6. Teaching and Learning with Cosmic Rays CRMD Expectation:  Not “plug & play”  Assembling and thinking required Detectores en el LHC estan grandes y complicados, pero el CR detector usa tecnicas basicas ATLAS CMS QuarkNet Note: Images are not to scale

7. Teaching and Learning with Cosmic Rays Typical QuarkNet Detector Setup 1. Counters-scintillators, photomultiplier tubes (two shown) 2. QuarkNet DAQ board 3. 5 VDC adapter 4. GPS receiver 5. GPS extension cable 6. Computer (PC preferred) 7. USB adapter or cable 8. Lemo or BNC signal cables 9. Daisy-chained power cables The QuarkNet Cosmic Ray Muon Detector (CRMD) 6

8. Teachers & students: –Assemble. –Calibrate. –Set-up and run. Teaching and Learning with Cosmic Rays
