__**Week of November 26**__

__//11-26-07//__ - Today after school DO and I are going to the Quarknet Center. During class I visited the resources page of the Cosmic Ray e-lab and learned all about Milagro and the Gamma-Ray Observatory. Sometime this week I will find time to put up a link to more information about Milagro on the Cosmic Ray site. Today was very productive at the Quarknet center though. DO and I set up and got functioning an actual classroom size cosmic ray detector using instructions provided by some people from the center. To learn more about this process you can visit the main Cosmic Ray page and click on the link to the User's Manual. We did not have much time to gather data with it, but it is still exciting that we finally got one up and working.

__//11-27-07//__ - Today I updated my bibliography page with a link and some info on Milagro and the Gamma-Ray Observatory. It isn't neccessarily a cosmic ray detector, but it is still interesting. Besides for this, I learned nothing of great importance.

__//11-28-07//__ - Today I went through the tutorial of a Flux Study in the e-lab. It went through step-by-step instructions of how to understand results from a flux study. You can see just what it is [|here]. Dr. L, DO, and I also agreed to meet friday morning at the Quarknet Center. DO went to the Quarknet Center after school, but I couldn't go due to swimming.

__//11-29-07//__ - Today an analyzer came into class and sat in with DO and I while we showed her what we were doing. She helped me to understand some of the posters on the e-lab.

__//11-30-07//__ - Today we did not have school due to 8th grade visitations. DO and I met Dr. Loughran and an analyzer at the Quarknet center this morning at 10 a.m. We answered questions they had concerning Cosmic Rays and explored the Cosmic Ray e-lab. We found a few "glitches" in the site that were helpful for them. After we were finished DO explained some of the stuff him and Dr. L did while I was gone.
