Description

Demonstration of the usage of the cosmic wheel as a particle physics detector. It is a system of 3 plastic scintillator detectors, readout with PMTs interfaced to a LabView data acquisition system. Demonstration of single rates and concidence rate countings, counting cosmic rates as a function of the detector plan angle with respect to the vertical, possibility to do the muon lifetime experiment.
