The user must install an application that turns his phone into a cosmic ray detector, connect it to the charger and arrange it horizontally, for example, put on a table or bedside cabinet. It is also important that the cameras of this device are well covered, for example with a piece of black adhesive tape, and notifications indicated by the blinking of the diodes are 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. Thanks to the GPS module you will also know where and when the event took place [3] [4].

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