'''Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO)''' – scientific project initiated at the end of August 2016 by Polish scientists from [[Instytut_Fizyki_Jądrowej_im._Henryka_Niewodniczańskiego_PAN|Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN]] in [[kraków|Kraków]], whose purpose is the detection of cosmic rays and the search for dark matter.<ref>https://credo.science/credo-read-more/ </ref> Its aim is to involve as many people as possible in the construction of a global system of cosmic ray detectors, thanks to which it will be possible to examine the essence of dark matter. Thanks to a photosensitive sensor and a GPS module, a smartphone works perfectly as a detector that reaches particles from space.<ref>https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.05230</ref> <ref>https://indico.ifj.edu.pl/event/182/overview </ref> <ref>https://www.ncbj.gov.pl/seminaria/cosmic-ray-extremely-distributed-observatory-novel-astrophysical-potential-and-beyond</ref>

Line 13 ⟶ 14:

The CREDO project is not limited to astrophysical research. If we could construct a global network of cosmic ray detectors, geophysical research could also be carried out. The authors of the project want to, for example, verify the hypothesis about the existence of a relationship between changes in the intensity of cosmic rays and earthquakes.
