The X axis represents the experimentally calculated half-lives in steps. The bins start from 12.33.
The x axis must indicate that it is half life in steps, Show what you think is the statistically determined half life
Resources
The Nobel Prize website [1] is a valuable historical reference (probably because lots of the people who did this work won them). For a detailed look at high energy experiments, see FermiLab's exhibit [2]. General information and links are on the course website, [3]. Books (yes, actual books) are on reserve for your use in the SJS library. See especially [4]. [5]
