Slow Muons and Muonium

Abstract: The Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland operates the high intensity proton accelerator facility HIPA. A 590 MeV kinetic energy proton beam of presently up to 2.4 mA is sent to target stations producing pions, muons and neutrons for fundamental and applied physics. The beam power of 1.4 MW provides the world's highest intensities of low momentum muons which can be stopped in low mass targets. Rates of surface muons of up to about 10 8 /s are being provided to various unique precision particle physics experime… Show more

“…There is thus a clear need in the long run to improve our understanding of nuclear structure and its interaction with the ionʼs electrons. This will probably require combining measurements performed with muonic atoms like projected in the muX collaboration [540] at the Paul Scherrer institute with those of electronic atoms. The use of pionic or antiprotonic atoms [541,542] could complement our understanding of the nuclear structure.…”

“…The realization of the high intensity muon beam (HiMB) at PSI [54] would open the way to push the accuracy of this experiment to its ultimate limit of few tens of kHz. Combined with other ongoing M spectroscopy experiments [19,55,56], one would probe the very interesting region of parameter space for a new scalar or vector boson with m ϕ > 300 keV where astrophysical bounds do not apply [57].…”

“…The development of muCool [16] and the high intensity Muon Beam (HiMB) [44] will further increase the available statistics by orders of magnitude. This will help to implement more systematically robust measurement schemes, such as the employment of an enhancement cavity with a larger laser beam to reduce AC-stark shift in the 1S-2S measurement and the use of variations of Ramsey-spectroscopy to measure the Lamb shift.…”
