STYX - bringing new life into old detectors — •Elena Zarkh — Physikalisches Institut, Bonn, Germany

STYX stands for Straw Tube Young student eXperiment and is a part of the master laboratory course at the University of Bonn. The experiment use muons from the secondary cosmic rays and aims to provide a basic understanding of the cosmic radiation, gas detectors, tracking of charged particles, readout electronics and computer-based data analysis. The heart of the experiment is a gaseous straw tube detector, built from the decommissioned ZEUS detector at DESY, and as a trigger system two photomultipliers are used. The setup of the experiment and recent developments will be presented.
