I have successfully replicated the experiment in the Comic Watch manual showing change in rates measured as result of radioactive test source (radioactive rock from ebay) on top of detectors…
Two detectors in coincidence mode, one on top of other. Radioactive rock test sources from ebay – large and small ones – plus I have some pieces of lead which…
Untested advice from ChatGPT: The following comes from ChatGPT. I am unable to verify the content from personal experience. I have entered this advice onto this blog as part of…
Short answer: no—those experiments are not actually measuring anything travelling faster than light. When Cosmic Watch–style muon setups give “superluminal” results, it’s almost always due to measurement/systematic effects rather than…
The observations from the balloon flight can be understood in terms of how muons are both produced and lost as cosmic radiation passes through the atmosphere. When high-energy cosmic rays…

Hi Andrew I have attached two files (accessible via link at bottom of this post), which need to be copied onto the RPi. I have changed their names because a…
For CosmicWatch in hardware coincidence mode, the criterion is actually very simple and quite tight: Hardware coincidence (detector-to-detector cable) 👉 So the effective “limit” is: Two pulses must occur within…
A muon hodoscope doesn’t just count how many muons hit it — it also tells you which direction they’re coming from, with pretty good accuracy. That turns out to be…
