Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)C5353: Build Your Own Cosmic Ray Detector! in Splash Fall 2016 (Dec. 03 - 04, 2016)
In 1956, C.L. Stong wrote in a Scientific American column: "If you fasten a disk of alcohol-soaked blotting paper in the bottom of a jar, screw on the lid and up-end the jar on a cake of dry ice, you will occasionally see the concluding phase of an event which may have had its origin millions of years ago in an exploding star." In this class, students will learn how to build their own cloud chambers to detect cosmic radiation, while learning a bit about the physics behind them.
