My first project was to design and conduct an experiment to figure out how many Muons are blocked by different substances. The second project was to repair SCIPP’s Tesla Coil Suit which only took a few days of work. The third project I was involved in was the Aerial Detector of Muons project (ADOM) that would take Muon counts from a weather balloon at different altitudes. In all of these projects I learned the value of working as a team and collaborating in a professional college level environment. For the Muon shielding project I collaborated with Nathan Brink who was another intern. We came up with a design that would give us the most accuracy in our project. We collected data and compared it with data from Fermi lab and found our data was different. We communicated with Steve Kliewer who took the data at Fermi Lab and we are still trying to find out why our data is different. In the end we were successful and we got acceptable data that could use some further analyzing.","PeriodicalId":428229,"journal":{"name":"Crazy Quilts","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123909151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
