The MuonPi Cosmic Detector Project
The MuonPi Project is a RaspberryPi-based system using an inexpensive plastic scintillator + SiPM photo sensor to detect muons from cosmic air showers with a time-stamping accuracy of several tens of nanoseconds utilizing the u-blox NEO-M8N GNSS module's "timemark" feature.
Learn about cosmic radiation
- Get started with Cosmic Rays
- "Kosmische Strahlung" Podcast (in German) on weltderphysik.de
- "Der kosmischen Strahlung auf der Spur" article (in German) on weltderphysik.de
- "Kosmische Teilchen mit extragalaktischem Ursprung" article (in German) on weltderphysik.de
Learn about the detectors
- Basics of Scintillators
- Find out about Silicon photomultipliers
- How the MuonPi detectors are assembled
The Hardware
SiPM PCB
Preamplifier
The preamplifier is located in close vicinity to the SiPM photodetector board and amplifies the weak signals for transmission to the MuonPi board, where they are further processed and evaluated.
The MuonPi-Board
The main signal processing, voltage generation and parameter monitoring and adjustment is done on the Raspberry Pi plug-on MuonPi Board.
