A bright future for high-energy muon beams
Published: 23 July 2024
In a paper published on 17th July 2024 in Nature Physics, researchers at the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) collaboration have shown that muon beams traversing low density absorbers inside strong magnetic fields can reduce their transverse size through the mechanism of 'ionization cooling'. The MICE collaboration consists of many scientists from around the world, including a team from the University of Glasgow led by Professor Paul Soler (P&A).
