Description

My goal was to explore how muon counts are affected under shielding of different materials at various thicknesses. The materials used were lead, polyethylene, and water. These trials consisted of using two muon detectors in coincidence mode and running a trial for roughly 15 minuets (900s ± 5s), and were all taken in the bottom floor of Tracy Hall located in Ogden, UT.
