Intense Muon Source at BNL

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is considering the possibility of building an ultra-intense muon source at the AGS and utilizing a solenoid magnet collection scheme that should produce 10^11 muons per second.

There will be an evening session at MuSr2005 to discuss this concept and in particular to begin to define the user needs from such a facility and - importantly - the scientific case for the machine.

MuSr2005: Monday, August 8, 2005 8:30pm

Interested parties are invited to the discussion.

We have set up a Wiki-based discussion board for the online discussion of this Muon Source.
