| Abstract Title: |
W16: Demonstration of a simple setup for cosmic muon lifetime measurements and presentation of a setup for magnetic moment measurement of cosmic muons |
| Abstract: |
The presence of cosmic muons has allowed the design of instructional laboratory experiments that demonstrate experimental methods of elementary particle physics. However, most of the setups have used expensive and demanding 'professional' particle physics detectors and electronics for signal processing and storage, which requires special expertise and also comes with correspondingly high costs.
In this workshop a simple setup for the measurement of the lifetime of cosmic muons based on a single scintillation detector with data processing and acquisition electronics composed of inexpensive and commercially available electronic components will be presented. Measurements and data analysis will be demonstrated. The innovative feature of the setup is registration of time stamps of the events detected in the scintillation detector from which the muon lifetime can be determined in the off-line analysis.
A possibility for the employment of this data processing and acquisition electronics in more advanced systems for measurements of the magnetic moment of cosmic muons will be presented. |
