Muon Beam

Surface positive muons (p=27±1MeV/c, E=3.2MeV). Polarisation > 99%.

Positive or negative decay muons, also positive surface muons.

Range (1)

Mean range 100mg/cm², spread 50mg/cm²

Surface muons:

Mean range 100mg/cm², spread 50mg/cm²

Pulse structure

Single pulse (70ns FWHM),

repetition rate 50Hz (with 1 of 5 repetitions missing)

Single or double pulse (70ns FWHM, separation 324ns), repetition rate 50Hz (with 1 of 5 repetitions missing)

Frequency response

Up to 10MHz for relaxation/rotation limited by the pulse width.

RF and laser experiments can allow up to 500MHz.
