Editing Muon Decay Simulation (section)

==Basic Design and Execution==

The simulation environment consisted of an envelope filled with air containing two scintillator plates with a lead block sandwiched in between. Ten thousand mu+ were then shot randomly according to the energy and zenith angle distributions found above, assuring that they would pass through the entire block. This did restrict the maximum zenith angle; however, the angles unavailable were outside of one sigma of the mean(maximum angle = 35.6 degrees, mean = 0, sigma = 32.5 degrees). The simulation would then detect if a new positron was created at any point during each shot. The results were recorded in an Ntuple by the simulation, then extracted an compiled into a 2D plot by a ROOT macro.
