Generation and investigation of radioactive muonic atoms in solid hydrogen films

Abstract

At RIKEN-RAL muon facility, a concept project is under way to extend the standard technique of muonic atom spectroscopy to the use of radioactive isotope beams. This new method would allow studies of the nuclear properties and nuclear sizes of very exotic nuclei at facilities where both intense negative muon and radioactive nuclear beams would be available. The present status of a feasibility study is being reported.
