In a cloud chamber 5 of 7 Briefly explain how cosmic rays can be detected With two geiger counters, one atop the other, seperated by absorbing lead. Both counter detect simultaneously then likely to be high energy particle 6 of 7 What does this help us differentiate the high energy particle from? Background radiation 7 of 7
