The performance of all subsystems of the CMS muon detector is studied by using 7 TeV pp collision data from the LHC in 2010. This box is only visible in draft mode. Please make sure the values below make sense. PDFAuthor: CMS Muon Detector group PDFTitle: Performance of the CMS muon detector with 7 TeV pp collisions at LHC PDFSubject: CMS muon detector PDF

The information accessible from a muon-spin relaxation experiment can be limited due to a lack of knowledge of the precise muon stopping site. We demonstrate here the possibility of localizing a spin polarized muon in a known stopping state in a molecular material containing fluorine. The muon-spin precession that results from the entangled nature of the muon spin and surrounding nuclear spins ...

We present an introduction to the MuLAN and MuCAP experiments at PSI, which aim at high precision determinations of two fundamental Weak Interactions parameters: the Fermi constant GF and the induced pseudoscalar form factor gp, respectively. MULAN MUON LIFETIME The Fermi coupling constant GF is one of the fundamental constants of the Standard Model. GF is obtained from the muon lifetime via a ...

The electric field gradients (EFG) in aluminium due to a monovacancy and the interstitial muon are evaluated. The valence effect EFG q is calculated using perturbed electron density ön(r) values obtained from density functional theory in an analytic expression which is valid at all distances from the impurity. The size effect E F G q is evaluated using a new oscillatory form for the near neighb...

We study the effect of inclusion of muons and the muon neutrinos on the phase transition from nuclear to quark matter in a magnetised proto-neutron star and compare our results with those obtained by us without the muons. We find that the inclusion of muons changes slightly the nuclear density at which transition occurs.However the dependence of this transition density on various chemical poten...

the phenomena of extensive air shower (eas) are produced by the collision of primary cosmic rays (cr) with energy more than ev with the atmospheric molecules. as a result the electron and muon components (cascades) of eas develop through the air.  the study of such cascades gives important information about the primary cr mass composition as well as its astrophysical origin models. one of the e...

This paper describes the muon identification method and its performance in the Belle experiment at KEKB. Muon and hadron likelihood are calculated for each track using its range and transverse scattering in the KL-and-muon detector (KLM). We apply a cut on the normalized muon likelihood Lm to identify the track as a muon. Above the detection threshold of 0:6 GeV=c; the measured muon detection e...

The Muon Tracking Detector in the KASCADE-Grande experiment allows the measurement of muon directions up to 700 m from the shower center. It means, that nearly all muons produced in a shower and surviving to the ground level are subject of investigation. It is important not only for studying mean muon production heights but also for investigations of EAS muon pseudorapidity distributions. These...

Performance characteristics of different approaches to muon tomography depend critically on the nature of the targets to be imaged and the flux of cosmic ray muons available at the site to be studied. To a reasonable approximation, the zenith angle θ and muon energy or momentum pμ dependences of the flux are similar at all potential tomography sites but the total muon flux does depend on site e...

The Level-1 Muon Trigger Interface (MUCTPI) to the Central Trigger Processor (CTP) receives trigger information from the detector-specific logic of the muon trigger. This information contains up to two muon-track candidates per sector. The MUCTPI combines the information of all sectors and calculates total multiplicity values for each of six programmable pT thresholds. It avoids double counting...
