Astronomy Astrophysics Antarctic Research in Thailand (AAART)
We are a research group based at Chiang Mai University, dedicated to exploring cosmic rays, neutrinos, and space weather interactions through experimental observations, data analysis, and detector development. We aim to expand Thailand’s role in high-energy astrophysics by contributing to global research collaborations and advancing detector technologies for next-generation experiments. Our team leads workshops, training programs, and outreach initiatives to foster the next generation of scientists in Thailand and Southeast…

COSMIX
INTRO COSMIX is a project developed at CEN Bordeaux-Gradignan aiming at providing high-school teachers with easy-to-use atmospheric-muon detectors. These detectors enable one to simply and quickly evidence the existence of cosmic rays. They take advantage of the recycling of Cesium iodide scintillator logs (CsI) and their associated electronics, used for tests preceding the launch of…

Cosmic Ray e-Lab Studies
INTRO Cosmic Ray e-Lab Studies: provide opportunities for high school students to conduct their own scientific investigations either with data they collected themselves or with data from their peers. QuarkNet teachers receive a kit to build a portable, configurable classroom detector; non-QuarkNet educators can purchase the DAQ with GPS, antenna and temperature and pressure sensors.…

Cosmic ray outreach in Stockholm
INTRO The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Stockholm House of Science offer high school projects on cosmic rays to Swedish students in the final year of high school. Muon detectors of different sizes are available for students to borrow, or use in our research labs. The participating students pose their own research questions, which…

Cazadores de Rayos Gamma
INTRO Cazadores de Rayos Gamma is a high energy astrophysics web application where students can analyse data from the MAGIC telescopes using a python programming environment. This outreach application combines a storytelling approach with science and programming challenges for the users. 4 PhD students introduce the user into high energy astrphysics research and the observations and…

CREDO
INTRO Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) is an expanding world wide network of cosmic ray detectors, utilising both professional observatories and private mobile devices such as smartphones. The main objective of CREDO is to look for cosmic ray events which are extended in both time and space and thus beyond the abilities of localised detectors…

Extreme Energy Events
INTRO Science inside Schools (EEE), is a joint educational and scientific initiative studying cosmic rays. This strategic project of Centro Fermi, Rome is conducted in collaboration with CERN, INFN and MIUR and carried out with the essential contribution of high school students and teachers. The physics research interests include the properties of the local muon flux, the detection…
