abstract:
The aim of the FAMU (Fisica degli Atomi Muonici) experiment is to realize the first measurement of the hyperfine splitting (hfs) in the 1S state of muonic hydrogen Delta E-1S(hfs), by using the RIKEN-RAL intense pulsed muon beam and a high-energy mid-infrared tunable laser. This requires a detailed study of the muon transfer mechanism at different temperatures and hence at different epithermal states of the muonic system. The experimental setup involves a cryogenic pressurized gas target and a detection system based on silicon photomultipliers-fiber beam hodoscopes and high purity Germanium detectors and Cerium doped Lanthanium Bromide crystals, for X-rays detection at energies around 100 keV.
