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 Raspberry Pi-based particle detectors.

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.

Version 2.0.2 of the muondetector software has been released.
Removed dependency on libpaho-mqttpp in favour of libmosquitto and added improvements to GUI usability
The new live map shows all 'L1' coincidences between (two or more) active detector stations. The events are mostly random coincidences but could also come from a single cosmic showers. The more detectors in one event the more likely it is that it is a cosmic shower that was just detected.
Revision 3.1 has been released and fixed some minor bugs. Board version 3.1 is working perfectly. Find out about it's new features and bugfixes...
First time correlation measurements between two detector units reveal a time resolution down to 50 ns...
