Difference: MuSunPeterDiscussion (1 vs. 2)

Technical goals

With new TPC operated as ionization chamber:

• Demonstrate excellent resolution (PeterW, Serdar)
• muon identification Peter
• Identification and separation of fusion recoils ( proposal, Peter )
• Full analog readout of whole TPC in untriggered mode.

Physics goals

• Measurement of the transfer rate from deuterium to nitrogen.
• Attempt to monitor impurities by detection of capture events in the presence of fusion background with dedicated set-up.
• Observation of residual polarization of muons in the µd quartet state.
• Depending on the advanced status of the setup, also an attempt for a first capture rate measurement can be envisioned although the items above are of more relevance in this period.
