 | | Why cosmic rays?
Spending all your time in a shower?
When you're sleeping or sitting in class, cosmic rays shower the earth and everything on it.
What are cosmic rays?
Where do they come from?
Where do they hit?
Some cosmic rays have so much energy that scientists are not sure where they come from. A number of reseach projects are looking at this question.
Who are we?
We're a collaboration of high school students and teachers collecting and analyzing cosmic ray data to answer some of these questions. We're working with
computer scientists to provide cutting edge tools that use grid techniques to help you share data, graphs, and posters and collaborate with other students nationwide.
Who can join?
You!
Think about steps you'd take to investigate cosmic rays. How would you get started?
What do you need to know? Can you collect and use data?

News Alert
21 August 2008: Cosmic e-Lab may experience intermittent outages from 25 Aug to 5 Sep. Argonne IT staff plan to upgrade server Operating Systems. Each machine will go offline independently and tested before rejoining the server cluster. Try alternative analysis options listed under "Execution Controls" (e.g., analyzing locally rather than on the cluster or GRID). We apologize for any disruption of e-Lab work.
