We already know that most cosmic rays come from supernovae in our galaxy, but the eclipse gives us a chance to help put limits on the source of cosmic rays from the Sun. It is a complicated question where the muons, from the charged cosmic rays that are stopped by the Moon reach the ground. Comparing rates of day versus night might be a better way to find an upper limit of the Sun as a source, however, we can’t let the solar eclipse opportunity pass us by! Those not near the path of the eclipse can still contribute!

Please answer the following questions in order to place your information on the World Map and to prepare for 2024 IMW.
Use a week during April 1-12  that includes April 8th for data taking if you can,  You do not need to take data during the entire time and are welcome to start earlier. Zoom connections can be used for participants to interact, discuss data, ask questions, and share results. 

We don't need a standard geometry for detectors but we would like to know what geometry you use. Some people will use a stack of QuarkNet detectors, some will search for multi-muon showers, and still others will use non-QuarkNet detectors.
A google map will be set up for participants to upload a plot and a summary for the week. We also request you create a one page summary in PDF. It should include your center name, summary of findings, and any relevant plots. This summary of results will be sent to all participants at the conclusion
A future google form will be sent to participants to submit their findings and a one page PD summary.
Thanks for participating!!!!!!
