A BUBBLE CHAMBER STUDY OF NEGATIVE MUON ABSORPTION IN CARBON
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4627285
a 6-in. propane bubble chamber, and the ratio of absorptions to decays was measured. The pion contamination of the beam was measured using three independent techniques to be 10.38 plus or minus 0.08)%. Results from approximately 20,000 muon stops yield a ratio of sbsorptions to decays of (8.90 plus or minus 0.24 x 10/sup -2/). Assuming a muon lifetime against decay of 12.202 plus or minus 0.004) mu sec, a capture rate in carbon of 10.404 plus or minus 0.011) x 10/sup 5/ sec/sup -1/ is obtained. Additional results were the prong energy distributions due to the absorptions in carbon of muons and pions respectively. (auth)
