1. Final Presentation By: Melissa Sussmann and Brooke Cosko

2. The Experiment A muon lifetime experiment uses three or four scintillators to create an enclosed volume Lower energy muons are trapped and when they decay an electron leaves through one of the scintillatorsdecay

3. Wires are not consistently colored Poor soldering job

4. The Bases Hamamatsu HC123-01 Multiplies voltage for PMT

5. Plateau Beta

7. Advice to Take Next Year Use a vice, especially when testing high voltage on the bases. Set the potentiometer in the LBB to 13 volts. There should be counts of 1 muon per square centimeter per minute. This translates to 21 hertz from our large scintillators. Give the experiment 15 minutes to warm up before taking data. When taking data, take it all at once, without breaks in between, because your results may change from one time frame to the next.
