The Henderson Mine Project
Henderson Mine (Empire, CO) is one of two
finalist sites under consideration for the Deep
Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory to
be anchored by the Underground Neutrino
Observatory
SALTA detectors were reconfigured into portable
muon telescopes run by a low-power data-logger
to measure cosmic ray background rates
underground.
High school students moved detectors to
underground locations. Data was collected
September 29 - December 8, 2004 monitoring 4
locations 2800-3900 feet below the surface.
Students are analyzing data to prepare a
report on cosmic ray muon rates as a function of
depth. http//crop.unl.edu/claes/SALTA/HendersonPr
