Figure 20 . Notice 14 hits, 12 hits, 10 hits, etc all in a short span of time. These days show several cosmic rays being detected by both stacks within the same 100 nanoseconds, potentially registering as three separate events. A plot of the April 19th event with 14 hit coincidences appears to lend support for calling this a shower.

(1) Cherenkov radiation: Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.” “The radiation is named after the Soviet scientist Pavel Cherenkov, the 1958 Nobel Prize winner, who was the first to detect it experimentally under the supervision of Sergey Vavilov at the Lebedev Institute in 1934.” (2) Bremsstrahlung radiation: Bremsstrahlung, from bremsen "to brake" and Strahlung "radiation"; i.e., "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation", is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus.” (3) CAD for adapters is on WISRD server \\192.168.168.40\assets\3dprint\3dpring\jeremyr
