Beta Decay
... The data analysis for this lab is done with an eye toward confirming Fermi’s theory of beta decay and establishing the small mass of the neutrino. Toward that end, your reports should include a counts vs. momentum and a counts vs. energy plot for both Cs137 and Na22 for the full energy range of the ...
