PHS3000 Muon Physics

This documents the monashspa.PHS3000.muon library that you will import into code used in the PHS3000 unit when performing experiment 1.4 muon physics.

monashspa.PHS3000.muon.histc(x, bins)

Counts the number of times an values in x fall between each bin in bins.

This uses the condition if bins[i] <= x[j] < bins[i+1]: result[i] += 1 for each element in x

Parameters:

• x – The numpy array containing the data to count
• bins – A numpy array defining the bins

Returns:

A numpy array containing the number of elements between each bin.

monashspa.PHS3000.muon.read_data(filepath)

Imports data from the muon physics .data file

Parameters:filepath – The path to the .data file produced by the muon acquisition software Returns:A 2D numpy array containing the data from the file. The first column contains the acquisition intervals and the second column contains the timestamps.
