PF+Logbook+Week+of+May+5

May 5, 2008 Today, we all worked on questions that Dr. Loughran sent us in an email about cosmic rays. We were to send him two declarative, factual sentences pertaining to what we saw in an animation that he linked. My sentences were: 1) The northernmost part of Greenland has one of the lowest Total Electron Counts of any place in the world. I know this because there is barely a change in color over it on the animation. 2) (Although I already talked to you about this) In areas where there is a greater TEC, there will be a higher cosmic ray flux because there will be more electrons for the cosmic rays to run into and break up.

May 6, 2008 DL talked to us about coronal mass ejections and showed us some stuff on spaceweather.com.

May 7, 2008 Today, DL gave us usernames and passwords for the cosmic ray e-lab. I got the letter C so I am supposed to mark the locations of the sites that start with C that have muon detectors.

May 8, 2008 Finished locating all of the locations. Today, I worked on putting up some of the geometry for the detectors.

May 9, 2008 Finished with making wikispace pages for the geometries of each of the detectors and I formatted the call-out boxes to link to those pages.
