Determination of Muon g-factor from Cosmic Rays

Description

  • Finished construction of the cosmic ray detector
  • Created logic setup to eliminate false counts from the scintillator/photomultiplier detectors
  • Wrote C++ code to perform the analysis of the muon data and determine the g-factor
  • Determined cosmic ray muon g-factor to within 2 sigma of theoretical results
  • Performed analysis of muon detection time and angle dependence to confirm that cosmic rays are of extra-solar origin
