Objectives The objectives of this experimet are: (1) to study the Poisso probability distributio as it is applied to coutig statistics, (2) to study the Gaussia probability distributio as a special case of the Poisso distributio applied to measuremets with a large mea value, ad (3) to lear some statistical aalysis techiques usig a spreadsheet to aalyze, graph, ad compare results. Theory Radioactive decay is a radom process i which the emissio of radiatio depeds o the umber of atoms that ca decay ad a probability fuctio that is characteristic their atural lifetimes. The detectio of particles is radom ad ay two measuremets of the particles over equal periods of time will most likely be differet. For large umbers, the differece betwee the measuremets will be a small percetage. The probability of detectig a specific umber of evets for a give measuremet is give by the stadard ormal or Gaussia distributio as was studied i the experimet o statistical aalysis. However, for the measuremet of a small umber of evets, the probability distributio for detectig a specific umber of evets is differet ad is give by a Poisso distributio. For example, i a small period of time, the umber of particles that are detected may oly be about 5 o the average. A chage of 1 or 2 detected evets is a sigificat percetage of the average umber. For rare evets, the average umber detected might also be much less tha oe, The Poisso distributio applies to these measuremets ad is useful for determiig the probability of detectig a sigle evet or more tha oe evet i the same period. The Poisso distributio is a special case of the biomial distributio, similar to the Gaussia distributio beig a special case.
2 The Poisso distributio is give by P ( ) =! e (1) where P() is the ormalized probability that i a give time iterval evets will be observed ad is the average umber of evets that are observed whe may samples are take. P() is said to be a ormalized distributio so that whe it is summed over all possible values of, it is equal to uity. P() is ormalized to oe sample ad is therefore give by P ( ) = 1 (2) = 0 If M samples are measured with each yieldig some umber m j, (j=1 to M), the average umber for a sample will be give by = M j= 1 M m j (3) If some fractio of the values of m j have the same value i ad there are possible values of i, (i=1 to ), the M f = m (4) i i j i= 1 j= 1 where f i is the frequecy that the same umber i occurs. By makig this substitutio ito Equatio (3), ad The term = i= 1 M f f i i (5) i = i (6) i= 1 M fi M is just the probability of measurig a value i, P( i ), so that By droppig the subscripts = P( ) (7) i= 1 i i 2
3 = P( ). (8) Whe the average umber of evets is a large umber, Poisso s equatio is very difficult to deal with because of the large values of! For large values of, the biomial distributio is better characterized with a Gaussia distributio. Recall from the previous experimet o statistical aalysis that the Gaussia distributio is give by P 1 x = exp - σ 2π ( ) ( x-x ) 2 2σ 2 (9) where x is the mea value about which the distributio is cetered, σ is the stadard deviatio from the mea, ad P(x) is the ormalized probability of measurig a value x. P(x i ) is a cotiuous fuctio ad must be multiplied by a icremet i x, Δ x, i order for it to represet a fiite umber. Therefore, the mea value is give by i ( i) Δ. (10) x= x P x x The value of σ is give by the square root of the variace, σ 2, i=1 ( x x) i i= σ =. (11) 1 Sice, the distributio is ormalized, P( xi ) Δ x = 1. (12) i=1 For itegers, the smallest icremet i x, Δ x =Δ, is 1, so whe the cotiuous fuctio P(x) is chaged to a iteger form P(), Equatio (9) becomes ad 1 P( ) Δ= exp - σ 2π 1 P ( ) = exp - σ 2π ( -) 2 2σ 2 ( -) 2 2σ 2 Δ. (13). (14) sice Δ = 1. The stadard deviatio ca be approximatedy by the square root of the mea, 3
4 ad Equatio (14) ca be approximated by σ =, (15) 1 P ( ) = exp - 2π ( -) 2 2. (16) The stadard deviatio ca be computed with Equatio (11). The stadard deviatio computatio is provided as a statistical fuctio i the Excel fuctioal operators ad the Gaussia distributio ca be computed easily ad more correctly as will be show. Apparatus The apparatus is show i Figure 1 ad cosists of: (1) a radioactive source, (2) a Geiger-Mueller tube with stad ad source holder, (3) a scaler to cout the radioactive decays, (4) a Pasco 750 Sciece Workshop data acquisitio iterface, (5) Pasco DataStudio software, ad (6) computer with Excel spreadheet program. Figure 1. Apparatus ad setup for performig the Poisso Statistics experimet. Procedure Geeral Cosideratios The procedure has two parts: (1) measuremets where the average umber of couts is low, approximately 2-7 couts per period, ad (2) measuremets where the average umber of couts is 100 to 200 couts per period. I the first case Poisso statistics apply, but i the secod case, a Gaussia distributio is applied. 4
5 The performace of the Geiger couter depeds o the high voltage supply ad that has bee pre-set for this experimet. ormally, a experimet would be ru to determie the operatig voltage, but that process has bee elimiated for this experimet to cocetrate o the study of the coutig statistics, the Poisso distributio, ad Gaussia distributio. Uless istructed otherwise, the high voltage for the couter should be set at 900 volts. The umber of radioactive evets that are detected by the Geiger couter depeds o the geometrical relatio that the source has to the couter. The closer the source is to the couter, the more evets will be detected. The source ca be located at various distaces from the etrace widow of the Geiger tube, ad this distace will eed to be adjusted to give the desired coutig rate for the study. Also, because of the locatio of the radioactive source material embedded i the plastic disc,the orietatio of the source will affect the cout rate.. There will be a differece i detected evets depedig o which side of the disc is closest to the Geiger widow. I Part I, the source will eed to be placed ear the bottom of the source holder ad will eed to be moved closer to the tube for Part II. The umber of couts that are detected i a 0.2 secod time iterval i Part I eeds to be approximately 2-7, while for Part II the umber eeds to be approximately Part I Poisso Distributio Data Acquisitio Setup 1.
