  1. 0801 Group meeting Shiuan-Hal

  2. Content • 1. How to measure the muon lifetime? • 2. The previous measurements. • 3. The MuLan experiment. • 4. What is muon capture? • 5. The MuCap experiment.

  3. How to measure the muon lifetime? The muon lifetime is :

  4. How is the muon lifetime measured? N=1

  5. How is the muon lifetime measured? N=10

  6. How is the muon lifetime measured? N=100

  7. How is the muon lifetime measured? N=100

  8. How is the muon lifetime measured? N=104

  9. How is the muon lifetime measured? N=106

  10. How is the muon lifetime measured? N=1012

  11. How long will it take? Source Muon rate Time to 1012 m+ Cosmic rays 1 / 50 cm2 s 1 / hand s ~104 years e+ Scint. PMT p+ Continuous beam 20 kHz ~1.6 years beam time m+ PMT PMT Water e+ Pulsed beam (usable) ~ 3 weeks beam time

  12. Why use m+ Muon capture

  13. The previous measurements

  14. Experiment by G. Bardin 1 p+ 1. Incidence 140MeV/C beam 2. stopped in the sulphur target and provide an unplarized 3. The decay position was detected by scintillator(Sc) p+ m+

  15. Experiment by K. L. Giovanetti Start: S1 S2 Stop: L R m+ 1. Incidence beam 2. stopped in the water 3. The decay position was detected by PMT L and R m+

  16. The MuLan Experiment BEAM m+ DETECTORS DIGITIZERS DAQ #4

  17. The MuLan result

  18. What is muon capture? μ nucleus Matter e μ

  19. The previous measurements Trigger condition: Stopped muon:1 2 Gamma ray:3 X

  20. The MuCap experiment e m

  21. The MuCap experiment

  22. m- ultra-pure hydrogen The muon will capture by P E p e-

  23. The MuCap result The muon disappearance rate in pure hydrogen is: Because the lifetime is :
