Flight 1

  • Spring of 2022 (quarantine antics)
  • Pi in the sky
  • Impact of high altitude on a bacteria colony
  • … a flop – all data lost on impact

But a gateway into high altitude ballooning

Flight 2

  • …even bigger flop, but eventful

Flight 3

  • Introducing the muon detector
  • Count per minute vs. altitude
  • Differed from simulator’s results

Aim

Find the correlation between the energy of muons and the (peak) charge in a SiPM signal.

​

Muon spectrum

The how

  • S0&S1 filtering out the muons
  • Cherenkovs identifying muons in a narrow momentum range
  • S2/S3 will be read out with an oscilloscope

​
