Yep, you're right. Just found this.

It's a rather janky setup, but here is the first muon captured in the detector.
A double peak confirms a charged particle passed through both scintillators.

Activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and spray painted 2 RAF aircraft.
This has not affected any active or planned military activities.
Thankfully, it was only vandals. It could have been Russian terrorists.
I guarantee all security on all British military bases has just been quadrupled.

I made an extremely cheap liquid scintillator from mineral oil and Anthracene.
It emits ~420nm light when excited by a charged particle interaction, or by a UV laser.

I'm working on something big. (Particle physics related).
I'm making a miniature ATLAS detector.
Proof of concept works, I just need to scale it up, CAD is all done. 5 PCB's ~A4 size, and over £1500 in PCB components alone. 😅
Here is an image of the smaller proof of concept PCB being soldered:

I think it's time to introduce the Americans to British chocolate since we are opening up trade barriers.
I've tried American chocolate, they need this.

Here's a sample of a plastic scintillator used for particle detection called "Bicron BC-408" absorbing UV laser light and re-emitting blue light at ~420nm.

The line-up, so far:
Lancaster bomber.
Airbus Voyager.
C17 Globemaster III.
Boeing Rivet Joint.
Eurofighter Typhoon.
Various F35's
Spitfire.
BAE Hawk T1A.
There's also a pair of Ospreys, not sure if they're part of the display.

Today marks 80 years since the end of WW2, when the Nazis and the Russians invaded Poland.
We cannot allow Russia to repeat history.
I am sure that all #OSINT people will be kept busy all day with all the air shows and parades. A proper nerdy day. 😁
Here's a Spitfire over London.

I don't suppose any #amateurradio or #sdr guys/gals has a schematic for a #nanoVNA v2.
I need to know the value of an 0402 decoupling cap on channel 0.
I replaced it with an 0805 10μF for now, like the cap on channel 1, but I'm sure it's a lower value.
