Muon and muon antineutrino born in the decay of charged pion form the entangled spin state. The decay of muon with the left helicity triggers the left helicity for muon antineutrino to preserve the null total angular momentum of muon and muon antineutrino. This is forbidden for antineutrino hence one cannot detect the muon antineutrino after the decay of muon. This effect may explain the defici...

Data from a dedicated cosmic ray run of the ALEPH detector were used in a study of muon trident production, i.e., muon pairs produced by muons. Here the overburden and the calorimeters are the target materials while the ALEPH time projection chamber provides the momentum measurements. A theoretical estimate of the muon trident cross section is obtained by developing a Monte Carlo simulation for...

The muon–nucleus integrals which determine the nuclear-structure dependence of the branching ratio R µe , i.e. the rate of the flavour-changing muon–electron conversion divided by the total rate of the ordinary muon capture, are extensively studied. Precise muon wavefunctions are employed which are obtained by solving the Schrödinger and Dirac equations. To this aim a method based on modern neu...

The paper describes two Monte Carlo codes dedicated to muon simulations: MUSIC (MUon SImulation Code) and MUSUN (MUon Simulations UNderground). MUSIC is a package for muon transport through matter. It is particularly useful for propagating muons through large thickness of rock or water, for instance from the surface down to underground/underwater laboratory. MUSUN is designed to use the results...

The physics potential of an intense source of low-energy muons is studied. Such a source is a necessary stage towards building the neutrino factories and muon colliders which are being considered at present. The CERN Neutrino Factory could deliver muon beams with intensities 3–4 orders of magnitude higher than available now, with large freedom in the choice of the time structure. Low-energy muo...

The PHENIX muon trigger upgrade adds Level-1 trigger detectors to existing forward muon spectrometers and will enhance the ability of the experiment to pursue a rich program of spin physics in polarized proton collisions at √ s = 500 GeV . The additional muon trigger detectors and Level-1 trigger electronics will allow the experiment to select high momentum muons from the decay of W -bosons and...

The performance of all subsystems of the CMS muon detector is studied by using 7 TeV pp collision data from the LHC in 2010. This box is only visible in draft mode. Please make sure the values below make sense. PDFAuthor: CMS Muon Detector group PDFTitle: Performance of the CMS muon detector with 7 TeV pp collisions at LHC PDFSubject: CMS muon detector PDF

The information accessible from a muon-spin relaxation experiment can be limited due to a lack of knowledge of the precise muon stopping site. We demonstrate here the possibility of localizing a spin polarized muon in a known stopping state in a molecular material containing fluorine. The muon-spin precession that results from the entangled nature of the muon spin and surrounding nuclear spins ...
