Main summer06

Students and teachers indirectly observe cosmic rays by viewing the ionization trails of subatomic particles within a cloud chamber (Quarknet 2006).

Using custom built antennas, the MARIACHI Project can track small meteors as they enter the Earth's atmosphere (2006 Summer Research Program).

This summer's work includes calibrating scintillators. These detectors, destined for Sachem H.S. East, will connect to large array spread thoughout LI.

One emphasis of this summer's work involves CyberInfrastructure. An example is this Wiki; it allows students, teachers and scientists to work collaboratively on the MARIACHI project.
