I'm a final-year physics student needing ideas for my graduation project. I'll be working with my university's cosmic ray lab and have background in:
  • Data analysis
  • Instrumentation
  • Electronics
Looking for practical project ideas that could combine cosmic ray research with these skills. Any suggestions for interesting physics questions or technical challenges in detection/data analysis would be greatly appreciated!
