In lab, my partner and I are determining muon lifetime with a scintillator. I understand that the scintillator will help us find the average lifetime by measuring the difference between the time that a particle enters the scintillator and when in decays, but I am not able to figure out why this helps us find out the lifetime. All online sources I have found simply state this as a fact without going into the reasoning.
