A high-pressure hydrogen time projection chamber for the MuCap experiment

, 2014
The MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute performed a high-precision measurement of the rate of the basic electroweak process of nuclear muon capture by the proton, $\mu^- + p \rightarrow n + \nu_\mu$. The experimental approach was based on the

Comment on "Nuclear Excitation by Free Muon Capture" [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In the paper [1] the process of free muon capture with simultaneous excitation of a nuclear isomer has been suggested, claiming that ``the effect can be detectable for selected isotopes". Here, we argue that this claim can not be confirmed. Briefly, the process is far from the dominant mechanism for nuclear excitation; it excites high energy nuclear ...

When will we know a muon collider is feasible? Status and directions of muon accelerator R&D [PDF]

Mod.Phys.Lett.A25:567-577,2010, 2010
Over the last decade there has been significant progress in developing the concepts and technologies needed to produce, capture, accelerate and collide high intensity beams of muons. At present, a high-luminosity multi-TeV muon collider presents a viable option for the next generation lepton-lepton collider, which is believed to be needed to fully ...

EMuS Muon Facility and Its Application in the Study of Magnetism

Quantum Beam Science, 2018
A muon facility—EMuS (Experimental Muon Source)—at China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) has been studied since 2007. CSNS, which is designed to deliver a proton beam power of 100 kW at Phase-I, and will serve multidisciplinary research ...

A new muon-pion collection and transport system design using superconducting solenoids based on CSNS [PDF]

, 2015
A new muon and pion capture system is proposed for the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), currently under construction. Using about 4\% of the pulsed proton beam (1.6 GeV, 4 kW and 1 Hz) of CSNS to bombard a cylindrical graphite target inside a superconducting solenoid, both surface muons and pions can be acquired.

Electroweak structure of light nuclei within chiral effective field theory [PDF]

, 2013
We review the results of the most recent calculations for the electromagnetic structure of light nuclei, the weak muon capture on deuteron and 3He and the weak proton-proton capture reaction at energies of astrophysical interest, performed within the ...

Magnetic Precursor to the Structural Phase Transition in V2O3

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
V₂O₃, a model Mott insulator, undergoes a metal‐insulator transition linked to structural and magnetic transitions, though the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Through muon‐spin rotation and X‐ray diffraction on strain‐engineered thin films, a magnetic precursor to the structural transition is identified, emphasizing the key role of magnetism in ...

First muon acceleration using a radio-frequency accelerator

Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2018
Muons have been accelerated by using a radio-frequency accelerator for the first time. Negative muonium atoms (Mu^{-}), which are bound states of positive muons (μ^{+}) and two electrons, are generated from μ^{+}’s through the electron capture process in
