Abstract
The pulsed muon channel of the ISIS facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has been successfully commissioned as a tool for μSR research using polarised surface muons and for experiments requiring negative cloud muons. The beam line is described and the present performance given. At the present time, the pulsed muon beam gives 10 5 μ +/s (2000 μ +/pulse) with very thin production targets (2.5 mm thick carbon) and 30% of the ISIS design proton current. μSR test spectra demonstrate the capability of the source and instrumentation, the performance relative to the continuous sources at the meson factories, and the potential for new science.
