Mexican Team Develops Cosmic Ray Detector For The Large Hadron Collider

A multidisciplinary team from Mexico created ACORDE, a full cosmic ray detector, and Sergio Vergara Lemon, researcher at the University of Puebla says it is the first Mexican cosmic ray detector.ALICE is one of five experiments installed in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its function is to characterize other detectors and develop physics experiments of high energy with cosmic rays to record their passage. ALICE is made up of several screening instruments. "It's like an onion, you have a detector inside, one outside and one more, ACORDE, is all the way up," says Arturo Fernandez Tellez of the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at  University of Puebla. read more
