Cosmic Ray Experiment (Test Setup)

 

 

Components of the setup are the

 

• Scintillator Tiles (Kuraray)
• Photomultipliers (Photosensor module H10722-110)
• Domino Ring SamplerDRS4
• Aurdinio (Uno, Mega)
• Nim and Camac Creates
• VME Crates

 

 What do we measure?

 

• Flux
• Time Of Flight
• Life Time measurement (Still working on it)
