In recent years, there are many interesting reported application of using cosmic rays, which include space and earth weather monitoring, non-invasive cosmic ray tomography, soil moisture monitoring, public health, STEM training, etc. Over a century long effort of technology development of cosmic ray detection, especially in the antiparticle physics community, variety of cosmic ray detectors have been developed world-wide with varying size, cost and technology choices.
This workshop aims to bring together experts of cosmic ray detection/simulation and the community of using cosmic ray measurements in any field of applications and to share knowledge and technology. We also hope to establish an international collaboration of building a low-cost and reliable cosmic ray detector (with multi-sensors) network to monitor cosmic ray flux variation in real-time on a global scale.
The topics of this workshop include, but not limited to the following
– Cosmic ray detection and readout electronics
– Cosmic ray simulation and data analysis
– Sensor network
– Applications of using cosmic rays
– STEM training
