Data for Experiment 2

From MariachiWiki

Here, you can see the all of the data we gathered, as well as the calculated average rate and accuracy.

Here, you can see a graph of the average rate of rays that passed through both scintillators per second vs. the position of the scintillators.

Note: Previously, I referred to a scintillator lying flat as being at 180 degrees; however it seemed more appropriate to say that it was at an angle of 0 degrees, in order to show the linear relationship between rate and angle.

From our data it can be concluded that as the angle increases, the average rate decreases. Therefore, it is safe to say that most cosmic rays come from above or below.
