Experimental Method

The apparatus designed to do a precision measurement of the rate is described throughout chapter 5 and chapter 6. Here, the experimental approach is presented.

• Stopped Pion Method
  • Decay in Flight
  • Decay at Rest
• Relative Measurement
• Systematic Uncertainties
• Granularity of the Calorimeter
  • Calorimeter in Geant
  • Granularity
  • Triggers
• Nomenclature
• Quality of the Crystals
  • Fast to Total Ratio
  • Dimensional Tolerances
  • Light Collection Uniformity
