General Public Presentations
Here are a number presentations PJG made for general public lectures. Feel free to use them or to use parts of them. Be careful! these are all very large (>10 Mb). Some movies may be missing. Please let me know and I will upload them separately here.
Cosmic Rays
A public talk by Christiaan (Powerpoint, in DUTCH) on cosmic rays (history, detection methods, air showers) can be found here (Original format is Keynote, converted to PPT resulted in some lost animated transitions). It uses many slides from Jorg Horandel's lecture notes on astroparticle physics. Keynote version is available from Christiaan, as it cannot be uploaded to the wiki due to filetype restrictions.
Another public talk by Anna. Based on Christiaan's slides but with more Auger and AERA. A pdf can be found here. Contact Anna for the keynote (or whatever other format).

This page is for exercises for students or other members of the public.
