Abstract:
For the last 30 years, muon experiments at ISIS pulsed neutron and muon facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire have been making a significant contribution to a number of scientific fields. The muon facilities at ISIS consist of eight experimental areas. The European Commission Muon facility consists of three experimental areas with a fixed momentum (28 MeV c-1). The RIKEN-RAL facility has a variable momentum (17-90 MeV c-1) and a choice of negative or positive muons delivering muons to four experimental areas. There is also an area recently used for a muon ionization cooling experiment. In this paper, the ISIS pulsed muon facilities are reviewed, including the beam characteristics that could be useful for muography experiments.This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Cosmic-ray muography'.
