Muon spectroscopy is an important experimental technique that scientists use to study the magnetic properties of materials. It is based on "implanting" a spin-polarized muon in the crystal and ...

Muon beams can now be created in a device that is the length of a ruler. Researchers at Berkeley Lab presented a foot-long (30 cm) compact laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) that can generate and detect ...
