The GRAPES-3 experiment in Ooty, Tamil Nadu, uses a large-area tracking muon telescope to study cosmic rays. In a sustainable move, iron pipes from the decommissioned Kolar Gold Field experiment were restored and repurposed, doubling the telescope’s capacity. The materials were analyzed using XRD, IR, SEM, and EDX techniques to ensure their suitability. By reusing decades-old materials, the experiment reduces waste and demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, aligning scientific progress with environmental responsibility.

摘要

The GRAPES-3 experiment in Ooty, Tamil Nadu, uses a large-area tracking muon telescope to study cosmic rays. In a sustainable move, iron pipes from the decommissioned Kolar Gold Field experiment were restored and repurposed, doubling the telescope’s capacity. The materials were analyzed using XRD, IR, SEM, and EDX techniques to ensure their suitability. By reusing decades-old materials, the experiment reduces waste and demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, aligning scientific progress with environmental responsibility.
