Epithermal muons from solid rare-gas moderators

Emission of positive muons (μ⁺) of low kinetic energy, with yield peaked at 5 to 20 electron volts and slowly decreasing to higher energy, has been observed by moderating a muon beam (p~28MeV/c, Δp/p~4%) with solid argon, krypton and xenon moderators. Emission at these energies is consistent with t...
