چکیده
We describe a compact apparatus that automatically measures the charge averaged lifetime of atmospheric muons in plastic scintillator using low-cost, low-power electronics and that measures the stopping rate of atmospheric muons as a function of altitude to demonstrate relativistic time dilation. The apparatus is designed for the advanced undergraduate physics laboratory and is suitable for field measurements.

Measurement of Muon Lifetime and Mass Using Cosmic Ray Showers
In this experiment, we used a scintillation mechanism to measure the lifetime and the mass of the muon with data collected from cosmic ray showers. We determined the lifetime with a QVT pulse analyzer in t-mode to bin the times between a muon entry and its decay in the scintillator. Our final data was a plot of the decay rate vs. bin number. From that curve, we calculated the muon lifetime to b...

Underground muon events detected by the MACRO experiment at Gran Sasso have been studied for different purposes. The studies include the vertical muon intensity measurement, multiplicity distribution, lateral and angular muon distribution and searches for substructures inside muon bundles. These analyses have contributed to bring new insights in cosmic ray physics, in particular in the framewor...

We present a lifetime measurements of the 6s level of rubidium. We use a time-correlated singlephoton counting technique on two different samples of rubidium atoms. A vapor cell with variable rubidium density and a sample of atoms confined and cooled in a magneto-optical trap. The 5P1/2 level serves as the resonant intermediate step for the two step excitation to the 6s level. We detect the dec...

متن کاملOn the Measurement of Reinforcing Efficacy of Methamphetamine Using Self-Administration Procedures:A Review & Future Directions
A B S T R A C T Abstract- Methamphetamine has rapidly become more prominent in Iran, which is now second most common drug behind heroin. Moreover, initiation of methamphetamine abuse is a major cause of failure of opioid treatment programs such as Methadone maintenance treatment. This calls for development of more effective treatment methods for methamphetamine addiction, and especially develop...
