We, used different tick times for the TDC when we got the times we tried to use linear regression on it. here we got a ##R^2 = 0.9991 ##. The height is approx 10cm width 50cm and length is about 1.2m

they were lying on each other so i would say 0m

that's okay. Our teacher have just said that everything was correct. And confirmed that the muons did in fact loose a large amount of their energy in the air. he also gave us the amount of energy it lost, however he still won't say how he calculated it

He didn't really tell us. If i had to guess. It would be that fewer muons would get registered because they would have to almost travel in a vertical line to hit both detectors and we can therefore use it for a difference. Here is what the data looks like

O It definitely is, but is ##\sigma _v ## no the uncertainty for the speed ?

I do, but he told us we have to do it this way

We are using the time difference between detectors going off. This is our setup. So as far as i know we aren't using their decay at all

I don't think i have learned that yet on college. Is it this ? ##\frac {\sigma _1}{\sqrt {n_1} = \pm 0.46447}## and ##\frac {\sigma _2}{\sqrt {n_2} = \pm 0.27137}## So is the answer ##77.48584-61.40583 = 16## ?

Can you rephrase it? (im from Denmark and can't really make sense of the translation 😅)

oh my bad type error. However all the calculation were done in another document where it was 8. So everything should check out

Good point i have added the data

Hello everyone. I have just complete an experiment calculating the speed of a muon. I got it to 2.6E8 m/s, however I know that they are created at close to speed of light to be able to get down to Earth's surface in their short lifespan. This speed could not have been its initial speed, as it...

it is correct it is for a college exam project that i have to defend, i will rephrase my question

i would love to be able to do that, but here in Denmark we have to have a critical experiment of some sort that proves or disproves something

I don't really think my school has that, so something that uses easy to get physics equipment
