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…

International Muon Week
International Muon Week (IMW) is held annually each spring. In IMW, high school students and teachers conduct cosmic ray experiments, troubleshoot, interact, and ask questions. Later, participants are able to discuss data and ask further questions through follow up Zoom connections. There are three choices of experiments: Time of Flight, Cosmic Ray Flux, and Muon…
