Thesis Experiment

Actually, my thesis experiment has a lot more to do with Cosmic Rays than the actual Soudan 2 detector. I am investigating the Cosmic Ray composition in a region of energy called the knee. In order to do this I have built a Cherenkov light detector to measure light given off by millions of particles in an Extensive Air Shower. Some of the particles called muons penetrate through 700m of rock and are seen passing through the underground detector and its surrounding shield. We are using a VRML representation of the muons and the detector in order to reconstruct the happenings underground. If you have a VRML viewer (netscape3.0 comes with one) you can take a look at some of the events I have analyzed here.

We also presented some papers at the Durban ICRC. You can view the composition paper online. It describes a little about the detector and a lot about how we intend to analyze the data from the detector.
