‘Detektory Dla Szkół’: a pilot detector-lending project for Polish schools

Abstract

This article presents the Polish project entitled ‘Detektory dla Szkół’ (‘Detectors for Schools’, throughout the paper referred to as ‘the programme’). It was developed at the Education and Training Division of the National Centre for Nuclear Research (Narodowe Centrum Badań Jądrowych, NCBJ) in Poland. The programme allows the schools to borrow from NCBJ two types of radiation detectors: Geiger–Müller counter and CosmicWatch detector(s). Student participation in the measurements is expected.
