Description
This presentation describes a demonstration of cosmic ray physics utilizing a pixel detector at the Jungfraujoch Sphinx Observatory. Rates and types of incident radiation are compared at 439m above sea level (CERN) and at 3454m (Jungfraujoch). A MiniPIX TPX3, developed by the CERN Medipix Collaboration, along with default software is utilized for observations. A USB form factor eliminates the need for infrastructure beyond a standard laptop and can be adapted for quick educational demonstrations or more detailed studies.
