1st CREDO Visegrad Workshop 2024

Creating a perfect cosmic ray detector for the purpose of CREDO is a task that has been undertaken not once in the past by projects like CosmicPi, CREDO-Maze or Astro-tectonic . Diversity of used detectors can become an advantage in the search of new cosmic ray related phenomena but it requires a good understanding of used devices. We would like to present our proposition of a device that...

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...

Not only optical magnetometers are the most sensitive magnetic-field sensors, but they may also be used to search for non-magnetic spin couplings, including those associated with hypothetical dark-matter interactions. The performance of the sensors will be discussed in the context of searches for exotic spin couplings using a network of synchronized magnetometers [1], which extends the...

We present application of plastic scintillating detectors with SiPM and coincidence readout electronics for muon detection. Selected properties are shown, measurements are compared with expectations. Despite the low energy resolution of this type of sensor, muon peak is observed in energy spectrums. Testing measurements were performed in the laboratory and underground.

n this talk I will present the activities that we are carrying out at UNAB related with experimental astro/particle physics. I will also present our proyect related with earthquake precursors and other related projects.

Naturally occuring cosmic particles, mostly muons, reach the Earth surface continuously and nearly uniformly, and due to their high energy can cross as much as 10-1000m of rock. Since muons propagate along straight lines, one can use these particles for imaging the internal density structure of large objects. More than five decades ago, this method has been used to search for hidden chambers...

MCORD (Modular Cosmic Ray Detector) was designed as a tool that can be used both in large physics experiments and on a much smaller scale for observations in small projects. This is pos- sible thanks to its segmented and scalable structure. The basic features of this detector will be presented as a tool that we propose to use when searching for local correlations between the level of...

Introducing the AstroTeq.ai Basic detector, a compact cosmic ray detector with advanced features. Designed for discreet cosmic ray analysis, it employs dual scintillators and SiPM in a TOP-BOTTOM coincidence setup. With GPS for precise location, WiFi for real-time communication, and an internal battery for uninterrupted operation, the device ensures reliable detection without disruption. The...

In this short contribution, I will show our recent results
in cosmic ray particle physics and the involvement of our research
group at the Institute of Physics, Silesian University in Opava, in
the CREDO project. I will discuss charged particle acceleration
models, focusing on particle dynamics in the combined gravitational
and magnetic field around a rotating black hole. Application...

Advacam detectors of the Timepix family with the pixelated semiconductor chip developed within Medipix Collaboration at CERN allow for radiation energy detection with precise position information in a wide range of deposited energies. Their capabilities will be demonstrated on the results of several space projects where space radiation fields were composed of components with diverse particle...

In our laboratory two low background gamma spectrometers with germanium
detectors are equipped with active shield. Such shield is a system of
five large plastic scintillatior detectors sensitive for muons
surrounding the massive cubic lead shield of spectrometer from five
sides. The active shield works in the anticoincidence mode with
germanium detector. In our spectrometers data is...

The Jánossy Underground Research Laboratory (JURLAB) is part of the
Vesztergombi High Energy Laboratory (VLAB). This one of the TOP 50
research infrastructures in Hungary and located in the Wigner Research
Centre for Physics, Csillebérc, Budapest, Hungary. It has been built in
the 50s for cosmic muon measurements and used intensively by Lajos
Jánossy. Today, after several renovation, this...

In this talk, the conceptual design of a compact particle detector will be presented, using the development of new systems such as embedded systems to be able to carry out signal preprocessing in real time, the system will make simultaneous measurements of atmospheric variables to be able to make subsequent or online corrections of the generated signals in the detector. The main idea of this...
