Final Muon Cooling For A Muon Collider
… generation of particle accelerators is needed. Muon colliders are a promising alternative if muon cooling can be made to work. Muons are 200 times heavier than electrons, so they produce less synchrotron radiation, and they behave like point particles. However, they have a short lifetime of 2.2 …

Muon-Catalyzed Fusion Effects in the Precision Measurement of Muon Capture on the Deuteron
The MuSun experiment will measure the rate of muon capture on the deuteron to 1.5~\% precision. This reaction is related to solar $pp$ fusion and the $\nu d$ scattering reaction at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory through effective field theories like chiral perturbation theory. The Gamow-Teller …

Radiative muon capture on nuclear targets
… to detect photons from the radiative muon capture (RMC) process was built. The spectrometer was used to measure the RMC branching ratio for AI, Si, Ca, Mo, Sn and Pb. Two recent theoretical models were used to extract the RMC branching ratio in Ca. The experin1ental result is in good …

ADVANCED APPLICATIONS OF COSMIC-RAY MUON RADIOGRAPHY
The passage of cosmic-ray muons through matter is dominated by the Coulomb interaction with electrons and atomic nuclei. The muons interaction with electrons leads to continuous energy loss and stopping through the process of ionization. The muon's interaction with nuclei leads to angular …

Beam Dynamics Challenges in the Muon g-2 Experiment
The muon's anomalous magnetic moment $a_{\mu}$ has hinted at physics beyond the standard model for nearly 20 years. The Muon $g-2$ experiment at Fermilab aims to measure $a_{\mu}$ to 140 parts per billion (ppb) precision. The 460 ppb result from its first data run (Run-1), released in 2021, agreed …
