摘要
Thermal muonium (positive muon μ+ and electron e-) atoms were produced from the surface of a hot (2300 K) and high purity tungsten foil placed at the primary beam of 500 MeV pulsed protons. Resonant ionization 1s→2p→unbound of the thermal muonium with pulsed laser sources was achieved with reference to thermal hydrogen isotopes (D and T) so as to produce a potentially intense ultraslow (as low as 0.2 eV) positive muon beam with an extremely narrow phase-space volume and high stopping density. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
