Experiments with the MuonPi Cosmic Particle Detector — •Simon Glennemeier-Marke1, Kai-Thomas Brinkmann1, Hans-Georg Zaunick1, Lara Dippel1, Marvin Peter1, Lukas Nies2, and Katharina Dort1 — 1Justus-Liebig-University — 2EP Department, CERN
The MuonPi project is an open-community research project dedicated to the investigation of cosmic particle showers. Its goal is to establish a wide-spanning network of detector units for measuring muons originating from shower cascades. Nanosecond time synchronization for all stations is achieved using navigation satellites. By aggregating the individual detections and analyzing their timestamps, the shower geometry and energy can be reconstructed. However a single detector unit can already be used for some interesting experiments, enabling students, teachers, makers and otherwise interested individuals to study the field of high energy physics. In this presentation we will showcase some of these experiments as well as the results of a stratospheric balloon launch. *supported by ELJEN Technology
