Description

CosmicWatch is a compact, low-cost particle detector designed to make cosmic-ray physics accessible for education, outreach, and research. In this talk, I will present the design and capabilities of CosmicWatch detectors, which use scintillation light and silicon photomultipliers to detect atmospheric muons in real time.
