Cosmic Rays and Measurement of the Lifetime of Muons and Pions

Více o knize

Focusing on advanced experiments in Modern Physics, this guide delves into cosmic rays and the measurement of muon and pion lifetimes. It explores topics such as the energy spectrum of cosmic rays, the GZK cutoff, and the effects of magnetic fields on high-energy cosmic rays. The book includes detailed discussions on muon production and decay, experimental setups with scintillators and photomultipliers, and statistical analyses to bridge theory with practice. It aims to enhance students' understanding and enthusiasm for the fundamental aspects of physics.
