Projected Sensitivity to Slow Muonphilic Dark Matter with Accelerator Muon Beams
Rongfeng Zhang, Cheng-en Liu, Ruihu Zhu +9
The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the most enduring open questions in modern physics, and muonphilic DM has emerged as a promising scenario that complements traditional…
The muon Moonshot: Moon subsurface tomography with upward-going muons
Zimo Hu, Leyun Gao, Zhengyun You +6
We propose a novel muon Moonshot concept for lunar subsurface tomography based on upward-going muons originated from the lunar regolith. Unlike the Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosph…
Production of lepton-flavor-violating scalars through resonant positive-muon annihilation on atomic electrons
Jinhong Shen, Youpeng Wu, Zijian Wang +10
We investigate an invisible lepton-flavor-violating scalar with exclusive couplings and study its resonant production via in fixed-target experiments. Since…
Improving Muon-Scattering Material Identification via Coarse Momentum Encoding and Unsupervised Domain Adaptation
Yuxin Bao, Zhao Zhang, Pei Yu +7
Cosmic-ray muon scattering has shown considerable potential for detecting nuclear materials and other dense contraband, but practical deployment remains challenging. A major diffic…
DREAMuS: Dark matter REsearch with Advanced Muon Source
Xiang Chen, Zejia Lu, Liangwen Chen +13
We propose DREAMuS, a fixed-target experiment at the High Intensity Heavy-Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), to search for muon-philic dark matter mediated by light flavor-violating…
U-Net Based Image Enhancement for Short-time Muon Scattering Tomography
Haochen Wang, Pei Yu, Liangwen Chen +6
Muon Scattering Tomography (MST) is a promising non-invasive inspection technique, yet the practical application of short-time MST is hindered by poor image quality due to limited…

Ce Zhang, Yu Xu, On Kim +10
We propose a next-generation precision measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2) at the High Intensity Heavy-Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in Huizhou, China. W…
Search for light Dark Sectors with GeV Muon Beams
Zijian Wang, Leyun Gao, Zhuo Chen +10
Sub-GeV light dark matter often requires new light mediators, such as a dark boson in the gauge theory. We study the search potential for such a boson via…
Improving Muon Scattering Tomography Performance With A Muon Momentum Measurement Scheme
Pei Yu, Ziwen Pan, Jiajia Zhai +10
Muon imaging, especially muon scattering tomography (MST), has recently garnered significant attention. MST measures the magnitude of muon scattering angles inside an object, which…
