(^) Speed of muon in pion decay (at rest) ~8.1× 107 m∕sec
(^) E^2 = p^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4 E^2 = p^2 + m^2
(^) E.g. m p

Detector simulator:
GEANT
(^) Monte Carlo methods are statistical simulation methods
that utilize a sequences of random numbers to perform
simulations. As seen from the figure below the ratio of
the area of the circle to the area of the square can be
determined by this method (The ratio = A 1
/ A 2
= π/4).

Decay rate : “The probability per unit
time that a particle decays”
(^) Lifetime : “The average time it takes to
decay” (at particle’s rest frame!)
Usually several decay modes
