3 unusual facts about Muon spin spectroscopy


Muon spin spectroscopy

This is presently achieved at few large scale facilities in the world: the CMMS continuous source at TRIUMF in Vancouver, Canada; the SµS continuous source at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland; the ISIS and RIKEN-RAL pulsed sources at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Chilton, United Kingdom; and the J-PARC facility in Tokai, Japan, where a new pulsed source is being built to replace that at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan.

•

PSI and TRIUMF host the two continuous muon sources available for µSR experiments.

•

Up to now, PSI is the only facility where such low-energy muon beam is available on a regular basis.
