What is Radioactive Decay Lab: Half-Life Measurement about?

1. The document describes a laboratory experiment to examine radioactive decay using two radioactive sources - a long-lived 137Cs source to observe Gaussian counting statistics, and a short-lived 137Ba* source produced in the lab to determine its half-life. 2. For the long-lived source, counts are recorded over time and fitted to a Gaussian curve to show their random statistical fluctuations. For the short-lived source, the exponential decay of count rates over 30 minutes is fitted to determine the decay c
