Notes on Cosmic Ray Muon Experiment

Web sites

• Web Page of the AWARE Geiger Counters we use for the Modern Physics Lab.

  • The model we use is the RM-60.

  • Their web site has this page with links to several muon projects.

  • They sell a coincidence box. Details here.

  • Analysis of the SparkFun geiger counter. This web page explains the low quality of the high voltage supply and the pulse shaping.

• SparkFun also sells a gieger counter made by mightyohm. It is avalable through Sparkfun at this link.

  • It supports several GM tubes: SI-3BG, SI-1G, and SBM-20. The one it is made for is the SBM-20. Here is a link to identifying these different types of GM tubes.
