TARGET OPTIMISATION STUDIES FOR MuSR APPLICATIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Considering the ISIS muon target as a reference, Geant4 simulations have been performed to optimise the target parameters with respect to muon and pion yield. Previous studies suggested that the muon production can be optimised by using a thin graphite slab target with an incident proton energy significantly lower than initially considered. The current paper discusses a possible target design fully optimised for MuSR studies.

متن کامل8 Muon spectroscopy
The elusiveness of reactive free radicals poses great challenges for their investigation per se in most processes in which they have an intermediary role; this is true particularly in heterogeneous media. There are, however, methods available for the detection of radicals with enormous sensitivity and specificity which are given the collective acronym mSR (MuSR). All the MuSR methods rely upon ...
متن کاملExploring the Feasibility of a Stand Alone Muon Facility for Musr Research
The current paper discusses possible designs for a high intensity stand alone muon source for muSR studies of condensed matter. In particular we shall focus upon the potential implementation of a new generation of high power but relatively compact and cost effective proton drivers based on non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient (ns-FFAG) accelerator technology. The technical issues which ...
متن کاملEffect of Multi-Pass Ultrasonic Surface Rolling on the Mechanical and Fatigue Properties of HIP Ti-6Al-4V Alloy
The main purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of a surface plastic deformation layer introduced by multi-pass ultrasonic surface rolling (MUSR) on the mechanical and fatigue properties of HIP Ti-6Al-4V alloys. Some microscopic analysis methods (SEM, TEM and XRD) were used to characterize the modified microstructure in the material surface layer. The results indicated that the mat...
متن کاملEvolution Strategies for Optimisation in Engineering Applications
Evolution Strategies are global, direct optimisation algorithms, which have proven their efficiency in engineering applications for a large number of industrial applications. In this paper, the basic algorithm and some of its recent variants for design optimisation are presented. In addition, we give an overview of applications and a comparison to other optimisation algorithms. As an example we...
