Cosmic Ray Detectors

Dr. Andy White began the spring term with an introduction to modern physics.  He took the participants on tour through the discovery of the electron and through the development of High Energy Physics.

The participants have become part of a study of cosmic rays and the cosmic ray detectors will be placed in area schools.  For further information on the cosmic ray program see the link below.
