*Further Information*

*Teams at MIT were able to construct and provide blueprints for a ‘household level’ muon detector which needs to be hooked to desktop PCs. The work was further extended at the University of Calgary by allowing the muon detector to instead be able to communicate with mobile devices (such as Android phones). This allows the previously immobile detector to take readings at a range of locations to see comparisons in the muon event rates due to topography, ceiling composition, etc. Download this folder of code and load into Android Studio to reuse.*
