'''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]] (Researchers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary also joined the project) 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>

== Application credo ==

Just install [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=science.credo.credomobiledetektor free application], which will turn yourthe phone into a cosmic ray detector, connect it to thea charger and arrange it horizontally, for example, put on a table or bedside cabinettable. It is also important that the cameras are well covered, for example with a piece of black adhesive tape, and notifications indicated by the blinking of the LEDs are turned off. If a radiation particle passes through a photosensitive matrix in the phone, it will stimulate several pixels, which will be noticed by the program that sends information to the server in Krakow. Thanks to the GPS module, you will also know where and when the event took place. <ref>https://indico.cern.ch/event/596002/contributions/2447178/attachments/1412820/2161711/credo-highlight-hq.pdf</ref>

All data from thousands of smartphones will then be analyzed together in [[Cyfronet | Academic Computer Center Cyfronet AGH.]] Which will keep you informed about the progress of the search for signs of high-energy particles
