Determining The Paths of Muons

• The path can be determined from finding the line
  tangent to the drift time for each tube

Short and Long Term Completed Projects

• Short Term
• Organized Chamber Performance Data for
  certification of Seattle Chambers
• Coordinated with Michigan and phased in their
  method of data storage

• Long Term
• Created a program to keep track of bad tubes
• Created a standardized procedure for the analysis
  of Cosmic Ray Test Analysis
• Analyzed Data

Future Work

• Continue testing and recording
• Further investigation of drift time variation
• Decision on criteria for gas procedure
