Abstract

Muonic X-ray spectra from Ar and H₂ + Ar have been measured with a high-pressure gas target. Strong differences between the observed intensities of corresponding lines were found for the two cases. The results are compared with cascade calculations. The ratio between Coulomb capture in Ar and in Ne for an Ar-Ne mixture (atomic ratio 1:1) was determined to be 1.11±0.14.

Muons as a probe in solid state and surface physics and in materials research
1992, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, B
Facilities providing muons are coming up more and more. Correspondingly, muons, positive (μ⁺) as well as negative (μ⁻), are increasingly being used as tools in pure and applied research. μ⁺ are needed for muon spin rotation (μsr) where one measures mainly internal magnetic fields, but also for channeling; in both cases the site where the muon or pion decays is of interest. In chemistry the μ⁺ acts as a marked light “proton”. μsr with μ⁻ is also of some importance. Muonic X-rays, emitted when the μ⁻ cascades down the atomic ladder, provide the unique opportunity to investigate quantitatively the elemental composition of a sample in a fully nondestructive way. Imaging with μ⁺ and μ⁻ using the incoming pion or muon track and the outgoing decay electron track is possible and has been demonstrated. Slow muons (μ⁺ and μ⁻) are stopped in the surface layer (down to monomolecular layers) of a sample and are, hence, excellent thin-film and surface probes. Muonic hydrogen transfers the μ⁻ to heavier atoms; this transfer can be used to study surfaces and the spatial structure of gaseous molecules. Present techniques and techniques envisaged for the future are reviewed; emphasis will be put on phase space compression of μ beams.

Direct measurement of the transfer rate pμ+Ar → p+Arμ at high gas pressure
1980, Nuclear Physics A
The transfer rate pμ + Ar → p + Arμ has been directly measured in H₂ gas of 600 atm with 2.03 × 10^3̄ at. % Ar at room temperature using delayed coincidence techniques. The transfer rate reduced to an Ar concentration (atoms per unit volume) corresponding to that of liquid hydrogen was found to be (9.8 ± 1.5) × 10¹¹ s⁻¹, which is considerably higher than previous results obtained at lower pressure.
