A novel, portable and low-cost cosmic ray detector has been developed by the Nuclear Physics Group at Georgia State University. This detector is designed to measure cosmic ray muon and neutron flux variation simultaneously in time series. One of the major goals of this project is to install this detector around the world for monitoring cosmic ray flux variation at global scale for space and earth weather.
The Mark V liquid scintillator prototype is the fifth generation of cosmic ray neutron detectors developed by the Nuclear Physics Group at Georgia State University. This detector is designed to be installed in cosmic ray telescope frames.
The Mark III liquid scintillator prototype is the third generation of cosmic ray neutron detectors developed by the Nuclear Physics Group at Georgia State University. There are two signal channels (i.e., two wavelength shifting fibers) for removing random noises from silicon photomultipliers.
The Mark II liquid scintillator prototype is the second generation of cosmic ray neutron detectors developed by the Nuclear Physics Group at Georgia State University.
The Mark I liquid scintillator prototype is the first generation of cosmic ray neutron detectors developed by the Nuclear Physics Group at Georgia State University using a silicon photomultiplier and wavelength shifting fibers.
