| Dec 18, 2018 at 6:27 | comment | added | innisfree | The wording gives the impression that OP observed decays at particular times and then binned them wrt time. And I thought no, it should be counts against time difference. I now don’t think OP did that. And my argument assumes it was a homogenous Poisson process, which is isn’t as a muon can’t decay twice (thanks @annav) | |
| Dec 18, 2018 at 6:17 | comment | added | innisfree | Indeed, I now agree with @annav. The OP was probably talking about a histogram of observed lifetime, and seeing some empty bins. The wording lead me astray | |
