Cosmic Rays
• These “rays” were discovered by Victor Hess in 1912.
• The name “cosmic rays” were given by Millikan in 1925.
• Energy & rate– ~106eV, most cosmic ray particles– Above 1018eV, 1 / km2 / week– Above 1020eV, 1 / km2 / 100years– cf. 1012eV @FNAL
• These rays are FREE!
Primary Cosmic Rays
• Primary cosmic rays aredefined as all particles thatcome to Earth from outerspace.
Secondary Cosmic Rays• Collision of primary cosmic
rays with atoms in the upperatmosphere produce mostlyneutral and charged pions.
• Decay mode of pion, muon– 7.8045m
– 21.1m
– 658.654m
• At sea level, most of themare muons.

Cosmic Ray Flux
• The flux of cosmic rays is
– The relativistic boost in the primary direction is much greater than at angle to the vertical.
– The longer they travel through the atmosphere, the more energy they lose to ionization, and the more likely they are to decay before reaching the detector

Conclusion & Discussion
• Real data is similar to the result of simulation of cosmic rays spectrum of distance between panels and angle.
• Programming the data acquisition, which display the ADC channel-count plot using ROOT in real time, for Linux.
• Needing to improve the apparatus, to identify the kind of cosmic rays.
• Needing to measure the energy spectrum of cosmic rays.
