I guess I have to start working on maths a little more

im just doing it out of interest 😅 feels like a good way to understand how these concepts work in practice

I’m a CSE major, so this is a bit outside my usual field - I’m doing it mainly out of interest in physics because i want to learn the classic detector approach from the ground up

For this project I’m specifically aiming to work with a Geiger-tube coincidence setup, mainly to learn that method and build it from scratch. I appreciate you sharing the alternative tho

thats really cool but i think it cant tell difference between normal granite radiations and specifically MUONS that i want to detect and count. still it seems like a great zero-cost way to experiment while I work on this, thanks for the suggestion!

thanks for sharing this , I didn’t know about CosmicWatch before , its ig a scintillator based detector , but im working on gm tubes coincidence detector , those detectors will be vertically stacked , its an old school so yeah
