I managed to clean up my correlation plots some, and generate a fit. The corrected data plot is included with this post. I'm somewhat satisfied with how the correction cleans up the distribution. In doing so, however, I omitted the effects of temperature on pressure, which will be the next task. To do so, I will generate a 'temperature corrected' pressure distribution, and then use that to correct the muon rate. I'm not sure what the outcome will be, however.
Muons aside, I got an account on an 8 CPU / 32GB memory computer in the lab downstairs so I can compile my FPGA code, which is nice, because compile times are down by an order of magnitude, which means I can get alot more work done.

Speaking of work, I spent all of last week supervising the dorms at Space Camp. Easy money, sure, but leaving at 0700 to catch the 0805 train home is mighty difficult to do every day. Subsequently, I picked up another shift over the weekend, with a school from Fredericton, NB, which I've animated for for years. It was nice to do it again, but with 'career' work during the week, I won't be doing any more camps any time soon, it's far too exhausting. The extra dough come Thursday sure will be nice, though.
Now, I'm about to finish correcting my PHYS 101 labs as they are due to be given back tomorrow. This has been quite a learning experience. It would seem as though I'm not an easy marker; I'd probably call myself a douche for how meticulous I'm being.
