CERN@school: Background Radiation Measurements sample data set

This dataset contains copies of the original data used in the background radiation measurement experiment reported in "<em>CERN@school: demonstrating physics with the Timepix detector</em>" [1]. The data were recorded with a CERN@school MX-10 particle camera (B06-W0212) and a CERN@school Mk1 detector (E09-W0092). Please see [1] for more details of the experimental methods used. [1] T.
