Description

For several months, PTMA has been actively participating in the CREDO project by the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow. To detect secondary cosmic radiation particles, participants build measuring stations consisting of Samsung mobile phones. The long period of operation allowed me to formulate a few technical comments regarding the operation of the station. They include issues related to hardware and software, IT security elements, power and cooling requirements, problems with Android system support, as well as the possible evolution of detectors from the point of view of the "Particle Hunters" participants.
