The MEGA experiment and the use of microprocessors for data acquisition and event selection

  • 1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM (United States)

Description

The MEGA experiment at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility will attempt to measure the branching ratio for the decay of the muon to an electron and a gamma ray with a sensitivity of about 10-13. To achieve this sensitivity the experiment must observe a large number of Michel decays. A goal of the experiment is to limit the amount of data tapes to 2000 (6250 bpi). 7 refs, 2 figs
