Project X Muon Spin Rotation Forum

17 Oct 2012, 04:00 → 19 Oct 2012, 13:30 US/Central

Fermi National Accelerator Lab

Robert PLUNKETT (Fermilab), Robert Tschirhart (Fermilab)

The muon spin rotation (muSR) forum will engage muSR leaders in a discussion of current facilities, the current worldwide muSR science program, opportunities and requirements of a next generation facility and a discussion on how Project X could serve this community. In particular, opportunities for future bulk muSR studies with high energy (>4 MeV) and surface muon beams (4 MeV), and low energy (0-30 keV) beams will be discussed.
