Muon Detection with a Ring Imaging Cerenkov Radiation Detector

ORAL

Abstract

Our goal is to measure the cosmic muon spectrum. We are developing a low-cost RICH detector by the modification of a digital camera. The detector will be suitable for a low budget laboratory. I will discuss the engineering and materials selection involved in building the detector from commercial off the shelf equipment, and present examples of the data obtained.
