SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating a Fermi-Kurie plot for the isotope Carbon-11 (11C) using data represented as dN/dE in relation to T_e (energy). Participants express difficulty in finding relevant literature and seek guidance on the initial steps for plotting. The need for specific methodologies or tools to convert the existing data into a Fermi-Kurie format is emphasized, highlighting a gap in available resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fermi-Kurie plots and their significance in beta decay analysis.
  • Familiarity with the concepts of dN/dE and T_e in the context of particle physics.
  • Proficiency in data visualization tools such as Python's Matplotlib or R's ggplot2.
  • Basic knowledge of beta decay processes and the properties of Carbon-11.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for converting dN/dE data into a Fermi-Kurie plot format.
  • Explore Python libraries like SciPy for data manipulation and analysis.
  • Investigate existing literature on beta decay and Fermi-Kurie plots for Carbon isotopes.
  • Learn about statistical techniques for fitting data to theoretical models in particle physics.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, data analysts, and researchers involved in nuclear physics, particularly those working with beta decay and isotopic studies.

Hello, I need to create a fermi-kurie plot for 11C but my data is in terms of dN/dE as a function of T_e (energy). Any tips on how to get started on this?

What have you tried already and where did it not work?
