摘要
The range of low-energy mu(+) in a thin Al film deposited on a quartz glass substrate has been investigated as a function of the mu(+) implantation energy by measuring the amplitude of the diamagnetic signal in a transverse field experiment. The mu(+) implantation energy was varied between 3.4 and 29.4 keV. The mu(+) asymmetry, which reflects the fraction of mu(+) stopped in Al, is found to decrease with increasing energy. The results are compared and found in good agreement with predictions of a Monte Carlo program, which simulates the implantation profiles of muons in matter. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
