Lancashire, UK calculated the probability of such an occurrence to be 5 × 10-7per hour of operation. This indicates that accidental detections are highly unlikely and should notbe a significant concern [1].rR= K ●rA ●rB ●rC●τ2, where rA, rB and rC are the count rates for the three inputs, τ is the pulsewidth (10-6 s), and K is a constant in the order of magnitude 1 (that depends on experimentaldetails). With count rates for the individual inputs in the order of 0.5 s-1, a random coincidencewill happen once every 105 years.In the second part of our experiment, we explored the angular dependence of muon incidence bypositioning the three GM tubes in Telescope Mode. The students adjusted the Zenith angle of theapparatus to identify the angles that would
