We will be calibrating this Friday and they I hope to upload some data. It won't be as special as Mike's but we'll try. text/html 2009-09-20T19:51:16-04:00 Michael Bennett http://cosm.hamptonu.edu/vlhc/doku.php?id=start:wiki:vqnc:vqn:write:exciting_times&rev=1253490676&do=diff Our cosmic ray club will be in for some exciting times in the next week or two. They've been taking data for about a month to compare normal stacked plates vs. stacked plates with a sheet of aluminum foil placed over them. The results are in and the plots definitely show a big difference. They will be doing a poster about it soon. Perhaps I will “guide” them into wondering about what would happen in the foil is placed under the detector... text/html 2009-09-05T10:03:53-04:00 Michael Bennett http://cosm.hamptonu.edu/vlhc/doku.php?id=start:wiki:vqnc:vqn:write:and_the_data_collection_goes_on&rev=1252159433&do=diff Since parting company from Mike, Shane, and Mike in the Cincinnati airport, we've been steadily collecting data and continuing to test our CRD in Lexington, South Carolina. I discovered that the school district tech team tightened up the firewall system. That resulted in closing off the opening we had for operating our CRD's computer by remote control. At least it happened at the end of the summer. It was nice not having to go over to the school every day during the summer. text/html 2009-08-03T08:22:00-04:00 Michael Bennett http://cosm.hamptonu.edu/vlhc/doku.php?id=start:wiki:vqnc:vqn:write:evo_meetings&rev=1249302120&do=diff What was decided about EVO meetings for this upcoming school year? text/html 2009-07-14T22:54:27-04:00 Michael Wadness http://cosm.hamptonu.edu/vlhc/doku.php?id=start:wiki:vqnc:vqn:write:summer_workshop&rev=1247626467&do=diff Looking forward to seeing everyone in just a few short weeks! text/html 2009-07-14T22:53:26-04:00 Michael Wadness http://cosm.hamptonu.edu/vlhc/doku.php?id=start:wiki:vqnc:vqn:write:vv&rev=1247626406&do=diff To provide an informal attendance record, please edit and add a check each week when you read this blog.
