 * __Week of November 12__**

//__11-12-07__// - Dr. L is gone all this week so DO and I most likely won't visit the Quarknet center to get some work done on the detector. Today we watched the animations on the resources page of the e-lab. This [|Classroom Ray Detector] animation is pretty basic but helps to understand how the system works.

__//11-13-07//__ //-// Under the resources page of the Cosmic Ray e-lab, if you click on ASPIRE it takes you to a page with some interactive applications investigating the origin of Cosmic Rays. DO and I explored some activities such as Particle Direction, Angle of Particle Arrival, Average Velocity, and Maximizing Recorded Events. [|Here] is the link to the ASPIRE page.

__//11-14-07//__ - DO and I analyzed the Quarknet vs. CMS on the resources page in the e-lab. It compares the grid in Quarknet with the experiment in CMS. After that, we played around with the DAQII board again on the resources page. We made sense of a little bit, but we still need to seek help to understand alot of it.

__//11-15-07//__ - DO and I today found a link from the e-lab to another Cosmic Ray website run by SLAC (Stanford Linear Acceleration Center). We browsed around the site in hopes of finding something new to us but unfortunately we didn't and most of it was just a review of what we already know.

__//11-16-07//__ - DO and I explored the CORSIKA site and watched various simulations of cosmic ray showers.
