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

Study of muon-induced background in MMC detector arrays for the ECHo experiment

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
For above ground particle physics experiments, cosmic muons are common source of background, not only for direct detector hits, but also for secondary radiation created in neighboring materials. The ECHo experiment has been designed for the determination

Anomalous Glassy Thermal Conductivity in a Perovskite Bismuthate Induced by Structural Dynamic Instability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Unraveling the underlying mechanisms at the origin of ultra‐low thermal conductivity in pristine crystals is of central relevance to designing new functional materials. Single crystals of the candidate functional material BaBiO3 show an anomalous glassy thermal conductivity, which reveals the role of strong anharmonicity and additional scattering ...

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

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 ...
