The half-life of a muon at rest is 152 us one can store


the half-life of a muon at rest is 1.52 us. One can store muons for a much longer time (as measured in the laboratory by accelerating them to a speed very close to that of light and then keeping them circulating at that speed in an evacuated ring, Asume that you want to design a ring that can keep muions moving so fast that tey have a laboratory half life of 0.25 us (about the time that it takes a person to blink).

A) How fast will the muons have to be moving?

B) If the ring is 7.01 m in diameter, how long will it take a muon to go once around the ring (as measured in the laboratory)?
