MuSun: muon capture on the deuteron
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 The goal of the MuSun experiment at PSI is to measure the rate of muon capture on the deuteron with a precision of 1.5%. This rate will be used to fix the low-energy constant that describes the two-nucleon weak axial current in Chiral perturbation theory.

Muon capture on the deuteron and 3He
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 We plan to investigate the role of meson exchange currents in the description of the µ− + d → νµ + n + n and µ− + 3He → νµ + 3H reactions. They both are treated as the decay of the corresponding muonic atoms, with the muon initially on the lowest K shell.

Muon spectroscopy of a 12-phosphatetraphene with extremely efficient radical trapping properties [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis paper describes muon spin spectroscopy studies of 12-phosphatetraphene stabilized by a peri-trifluoromethyl group and a meso-aryl substituent. Even though the prepared solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was quite dilute (0.060 M) for transverse-field

Effective-field-theory predictions of the muon-deuteron capture rate [PDF]
Physical Review C, 2018 We quantify the theoretical uncertainties of chiral effective-field-theory predictions of the muon-deuteron capture rate. Theoretical error estimates of this low-energy process are important for a reliable interpretation of forthcoming experimental ...

Optimal ratio or historical convention: the use of methanol–ethanol mixtures as pressure‐transmitting mediums [PDF]
Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 1967-1977, December 2025.In this combined computational and experimental study, we demonstrate that, despite its widespread use, a methanol–ethanol ratio of 4:1 is not optimal for use as a pressure‐transmitting medium. Consistent with previous reports, we confirm that ethanol primarily serves to delay crystallization.

Muon capture on the deuteron and the neutron-neutron scattering length [PDF]
, 2014 We study the capture rate in the doublet hyperfine initial state for the muon capture reaction $\mu^- + \,^2{\rm H} \rightarrow \nu_\mu + n + n$ ($\Gamma^D$) and the total capture rate for the reaction $ \mu^- + \,^3{\rm He} \rightarrow \nu_\mu + \,^3 ...

Development of a non-destructive depth-selective quantification method for sub-percent carbon contents in steel using negative muon lifetime analysis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe amount of C in steel, which is critical in determining its properties, is strongly influenced by steel production technology. We propose a novel method of quantifying the bulk C content in steel non-destructively using muons.

Future facilities at PSI, the High-Intensity Muon Beams (HIMB) project [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 Currently, PSI delivers the most intense continuous muon beam in the world with up to a few 108 µ+/s. The High-Intensity Muon Beams (HIMB) project is developing a new target station and muon beamlines able to deliver 1010 µ+/s, with a huge impact for low-
