How similar is the data recorded by several detectors?
With muons and electrons both being negatively charged, one would assume that the more TEC, the less muons will be detected. Since they are both negative then they repel each other. If we see the the TEC count rise then I would assume that since they have the same charge as the muons then the muons will be repeled and thus they won't be detected by the detectors.

I will look at the data gathered by 2 groups of detectors with the detectors in a group being close together (I will use two groups with three detectors in each groups in order to have more accuracy, almost like doing the project twice). I will compare the data from these detectors during high TEC counts and low TEC counts on 2. I will look at the muon counts in relation to the TEC counts trying to see how they are related to one another.

HYPOTHESIS: Even with the detectors in a group being very close together, thus, one would assume, the conditions would be very similar including TEC counts and muon counts, there will be a noticable difference in the data from the detectors.
 * I believe that this is because the detectors may be set to do different things and we do not know all the different variables that could effect the results. This could be things such as the barometric pressure.

Group One

You could perform the same steps for a second group to see if you see the same results. This will help to be more accurate in your studies.

Next (if I had the TEC data) I would be able to compare how the TEC possibly had an effect on the muons. If the TEC counts are as similar as I predict them to be among the different schools then it would prove my hypothesis correct, that if the muon counts are directly or inversely related to the TEC counts then the detectors are coming up with different information because they may be set differently thus not having the same information as other detectors. There will always be other variables though such as barometric pressure and other such things. From here one could contact the different detectors to inquire on how the detector my be set up differently from others.
