Community-based Investigation of Cosmic Radiation

Cosmic radiation are high-energy particle rays produced in outer space which constantly impinge on the Earth's atmosphere. These particles can produce particle showers when they interact with atoms in the upper atmosphere.

The MuonPi Project aims at investigating these cosmic showers by establishing a network of low-cost RaspberryPi-based particle detectors.

Join the Endeavor

While a single MuonPi detector already allows the investigation of cosmic ray muons, a wide-spanned network of the detector units can resolve the entire particle shower geometry and unveil the physics of cosmic radiation.
