Zusammenfassung: | We present a simple setup for the measurement of the magnetic moment of cosmic muons convenient for a student laboratory experiment. A significant simplification is made in the detector system compared to previous experiments of this kind, yet it retains all the necessary functionality of the system. This simplification additionally allows for the use of low-cost custom-made electronics for data readout and storage. These improvements considerably reduce the cost and provide a more accessible setup for a student laboratory experiment. |
