General Information
|
The purpose of the muon lab is to measure the muon lifetime. The lab is
based on a scintillator detector which detects
cosmic-ray muons.
This lab is part of the course FYSC14, which is given twice a year for
the 3rd year students. The purpose of the lab is to give the students
an introduction to the analysis techniques of elementary particle
physics experiments. The lab gives an (miniature) overview of the
different fields of work at a high energy physics experiment. It
addresses, how the theory can be studied by the experiment due to its
phenomenological impact, the experimental setup and how it is read out,
and finally the data analysis. In the analysis part the measurement is
compared to the theoretical expectation and statistical and systematic
errors are discussed.

Lab Report

What you should put in your report:
An Introduction with the "theory" (the muon, cosmic rays, life time...)
Description of the experiment (principle, components, setup).
Remember to hand in the question sheet as an appendix. Mark is appropriately, as "Appendix A".
Data analysis: method and discussion (error sources, data quality...)
