Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) – scientific project initiated at the end of August 2016 by Polish scientists from Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN in Kraków, whose purpose is the detection of cosmic rays and the search for dark matter. 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.
Application credo
Just install free application, connect the phone to the charger and arrange it horizontally, for example, put on a table or bedside cabinet. The phone will automatically send the collected data to the application servers.
Preview of collected data
the project also has dedicated website on which each user can see the particles he has collected after logging in.
