The History of the Measurement of the Muon Lifetime.

Introduction.

Obtaining the muon lifetime by studying the anomalous absorption of muons in air.

Direct measurement of the muon lifetime. Scenes from the 1962 movie ÒTime DilationÓ.

Direct measurement of the muon lifetime. Result: 2.2 ± 0.2 µs.

Muon-decay experiments in the advanced laboratory.

The future generation: utilizing digital-signal processing (DSP) in the advanced laboratory.

Measuring the muon lifetime using DSP. The waveform preserves energy information.

The muon lifetime on the WEB. DSP makes it easy to interface to the WEB.
