Cosmic-Ray Muon Detector

Planned: a small cosmic-ray muon detector based on CosmicWatch, the open design from MIT, adapted for Himalayan deployment. One goes beside each IESH hub along the transect, which records the air pressure it needs.

What it measures

Muon flux rate in coincidence mode (counts per square centimetre per minute), pulse amplitude energy spectra, event timestamps with atmospheric pressure/temperature/humidity.
