Beamlines for Schools
- Jan-Hendrik Arling (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY))
Beamline for Schools (BL4S) is a physics competition for high school students from all around the world organised at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in Geneva, Switzerland, and DESY, the German Electron Synchrotron, in Hamburg, Germany. Teams of high school students can propose an experiment that they want to perform at a beamline, that is, a part of a particle accelerator....
Conventional muography detectors are often expensive and not accessible for use by high school students. In this study, we developed a low-cost two-dimensional detector, “SAKURA,” for muography applications, with a total cost of approximately 100,000 JPY. A performance evaluation was conducted at CERN, where we quantitatively assessed the spatial resolution of SAKURA by comparing its output...
