Abstract

New intense muon beams with flux several orders of magnitude higher than at present muon facilities would allow many novel experimental studies that were until now statistically not feasible. The investigation of the nuclear properties of short-lived nuclei using muonic atom spectroscopy would become possible. A feasibility study at RIKEN-RAL muon facility using the cold hydrogen film method to produce radioactive muonic atoms is in progress. A new surface ionization type ion source was recently installed to expand the variety of available ions. Encouraging experimental results were obtained with stable alkaline-earth and rare-earth isotope ions implanted in solid deuterium films. The latest results are reported in this paper.
