    "abstract": "Experiments concerning the physics of cosmic rays offer to high-school\nteachers and students a relatively easy approach to the field of research in\nhigh energy physics. The detection of cosmic rays does not necessarily require\nthe use of sophisticated equipment, and various properties of the cosmic\nradiation can be observed and analysed even by the use of a single Geiger\ncounter. Nevertheless, the variety of such kind of experiments and the results\nobtained are limited because of the inclusive nature of these measurements. A\nsignificant improvement may be obtained when two or more Geiger counters are\noperated in coincidence. In this paper we discuss the potential of performing\neducational cosmic ray experiments with Geiger counters. In order to show also\nthe educational value of coincidence techniques, preliminary results of cosmic\nray experiments carried out by the use of a simple coincidence circuit are\nbriefly discussed.",
