Measuring the lifetime of cosmic ray muons using an FPGA

In this experiment, the mean lifetime of cosmic ray muons in their rest frame will be measured. We will obtain an exponential time distribution by measuring the time interval, from the point where the muon enters the detector to the point it decays, for a large number of muon decay events. By calculating the gradient, using curve fitting, of this distribution the mean lifetime of the muon in its rest frame will be determined. Another purpose of this experiment is to acquaint the student with workings of Photomultiplier tubes, scintillators and high-speed electronic modules such as discriminators, logic gates, time-to-amplitude converter, and multi-channel analyzer.
