Abstract
Accel Kitchen LLC offers online support to over 150 high school and junior high school students in their personal radiation research. Many of these students have fabricated original detectors,
such as a depth of interaction (DOI) detector comprising multiple scintillator layers for particle identification and positional sensitivity measurement, a Cherenkov detector made from an acrylic
block and Silicon photomultiplier, and a time-of-flight detector capable of sub-nanosecond resolution using a Red Pitaya ADC board. Thus, students not only conduct their measurements with given detectors but also assemble and modify them for their own research purposes.
