Description

The new Muon Science Facility (MUSE) that is now under construction at J-PARC in the Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) building will comprise four types of muon channels. In the first stage, a conventional superconducting decay muon channel (D-Line) was constructed, which can extract surface (positive) muons with an expected muon yield of 107/s and decay positive/negative muons up to 120 MeV/c, with an expected muon yield of a few 106/s at 60 MeV/c for both positive and negative muons. This channel will be used for various kinds of muon experiments like μSR, muon catalyzed fusion and nondestructive elements analysis.
