Cosmic Ray Photographic paper experiment 10/9/2003
For the second flight, a packet of several different types of photo paper was prepared. Orientation was the same as the 1st flight, face down laying flat. The flight was lower (85,000 ft vs 120,000 ft) but longer (30 hours at altitude). No aluminum foil layers were included in the packet. The photo with ruler is from the 1st flight, for scale. All other photos are at the same scale. Note particularly the last several photos in the series, developed on a special high-silver paper. We see small tracks, roughly the same scale as we've observed in cloud chambers, randomly oriented. In the photos from the 1st set, we observed no tracks like this. In fact, the tracks we did observe had a distinctly non-random orientation that makes the cosmic ray explanation very suspicious.
