We are a research group based at Chiang Mai University, dedicated to exploring cosmic rays, neutrinos, and space weather interactions through experimental observations, data analysis, and detector development. We aim to expand Thailand’s role in high-energy astrophysics by contributing to global research collaborations and advancing detector technologies for next-generation experiments.

Our Research Focus

🔬 Cosmic Ray Physics:

• Investigating long-term cosmic ray variations, their connection to solar activity, and their impact on Earth’s atmosphere and space weather.
• Utilizing ground-based neutron monitors, mobile detection systems such as Changvan, and altitude- and latitude-dependent observations to analyze cosmic ray spectral changes.

🌍 Neutrino Astrophysics:

• Contributing to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory by developing Long Optical Modules (LOMs) for IceCube-Gen2, with a focus on manufacturing and assembly in Thailand.
• Supporting high-energy neutrino detection, multimessenger astronomy, and the search for astrophysical particle accelerators.

⚡ Detector Development & Instrumentation:

• Designing and deploying neutron and neutrino detectors, improving data acquisition systems, and exploring new technologies for particle detection in extreme environments, including the South Pole and high-altitude locations.

🎓 Educational Outreach & Cosmic Watch:

• Collaborating with Accel-Kitchen to promote the use of Cosmic Watch, a portable cosmic ray detector for education and public outreach.
• Providing students and researchers with hands-on experience in particle detection and data analysis, fostering STEM education in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
