The helion charge radius from laser spectroscopy of muonic helium-3 ions
The CREMA Collaboration, Karsten Schuhmann, Luis M. P. Fernandes +37
Hydrogen-like light muonic ions, in which one negative muon replaces all the electrons, are extremely sensitive probes of nuclear structure, because the large muon mass increases t…
Search for muon catalyzed fusion
V. D. Fotev, V. A. Ganzha, K. A. Ivshin +21
This report presents the results of an experiment aimed at observation of the muon catalyzed fusion reaction $^3\!He + μ\;d\to^3\!He\;μ\;d\to^4\!He(3.66MeV)+p(14.64MeV)…
Improved X-ray detection and particle identification with avalanche photodiodes
Marc Diepold, Luis M. P. Fernandes, Jorge Machado +36
Avalanche photodiodes are commonly used as detectors for low energy x-rays. In this work we report on a fitting technique used to account for different detector responses resulting…
Measurement of the Formation Rate of Muonic Hydrogen Molecules
MuCap Collaboration, V. A. Andreev, T. I. Banks +33
Background: The rate λ_ppμ characterizes the formation of ppμ molecules in collisions of muonic pμ atoms with hydrogen. In measurements of the basic weak muon capture reaction on t…
Lifetime and population of the 2S state in muonic protium and deuterium
Marc Diepold, Fernando D. Amaro, Aldo Antognini +32
Radiative deexcitation (RD) of the metastable 2S state of muonic protium and deuterium atoms has been observed. In muonic protium, we improve the precision on lifetime and populati…
Detailed Report of the MuLan Measurement of the Positive Muon Lifetime and Determination of the Fermi Constant
V. Tishchenko, S. Battu, R. M. Carey +30
We present a detailed report of the method, setup, analysis and results of a precision measurement of the positive muon lifetime. The experiment was conducted at the Paul Scherrer…
