By Kanetada Nagamine

This quantity describes purposes of muons in technological know-how and engineering. examine utilizing muons depends upon their uncomplicated houses and their microscopic interactions with surrounding debris. Examples of muon study contain muon catalysis for nuclear fusion; the applying of muon spin probes to check microscopic magnetic homes of fabrics; electron labeling to aid within the figuring out of electron move in proteins; and non-destructive point research of the human physique. Cosmic ray muons is additionally used to review the interior constitution of volcanoes.

It is easily seen that at very high energy (higher than 100 GeV), cosmic-ray muons are the only possibility, whereas at low energy accelerator-producing muons are almost exclusively used. In this chapter, more detailed information is given on the types of muon that can be obtained using present production strategies. It should be understood, however, that future developments in both accelerator technology and in ideas for muon beam production are quite likely to change the situation drastically.
