Measurement of Muon Properties - A Multifaceted Experiment

先进仪器实验室的发展是物理学和天文学系发展的自然步骤。 高级实验室课程和监督个人研究已经向学生介绍了数值建模和计算机编程的原则。 该项目补充了这些技能，介绍了仪器和实验设计，通过测量宇宙射线μ子属性的目标实现。 该实验为专业学生提供了各种实用技术，并且在本科环境中通常没有经历过。

The development of an advanced instrumentation laboratory is the natural step in the growth of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The Advanced Laboratory course and Supervised Individual Research have been available to introduce students to principles of numerical modeling and computer programming. This project complements these skills with an introduction to instrumentation and experimental design, achieved through the objective of measuring cosmic ray muon properties. The experiment acquaints majors with a variety of practical techniques, and in a context not usually experienced in an undergraduate setting.
