Improved Measurement of the Positive Muon Lifetime and Determination of the Fermi Constant
MuLan Collaboration, D. B. Chitwood, T. I. Banks +38
The mean life of the positive muon has been measured to a precision of 11 ppm using a low-energy, pulsed muon beam stopped in a ferromagnetic target, which was surrounded by a scin…
