Hi, Peter,
The data has not been multiplied by anything; this is a raw count
difference spectrum for one pair of gondolas (1 and 9). Yes, you can
really still see muSR at almost 5 lifetimes!
The asymmetry comes from a difference in the acceptance of the top and
bottom counters, which leaves a small non-oscillating exponential decay.
Thanks,
