PKMu-HFRS: Probing and Knocking with a Gev Muon beam at the HIAF HFRS facility
Generating a mono-energetic, high-energy muon beam using accelerator facilities can be very attractive for many purposes, for example, searching for muon related new physics beyond the Standard Model. One potential accelerator facility is the High Intensity Heavy-Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), which is currently under construction in Huizhou City, China. Considering the projectile energy and beamline length, a high-intensity and GeV-energy muon flux could be produced and delivered by the High Energy Fragment Separator (HFRS) beamline of the HIAF facility. Here we show the roadmap and potential of the PKMu-HFRS program, to search for a muon-philic dark matter or dark boson, and to study the quantum entanglement between scattered leptons, etc.
HFRS:中国科学院近代物理研究所 建设的强流重离子加速器(HIAF)可加速从质子到铀的重离子,可提供高达 10^11/s 的高能离子束流。放射性次级束流分离器(HFRS)是 HIAF上的重要装置, HFRS 束线长 192 米,磁刚度最大 25 Tm,可传输动量高达 7.5 GeV/c 的π/μ粒子。研究表明,基于HIAF-HFRS装置,可获得流强可达 10^6 −10^7/s 的GeV能量缪子束流,动量展宽约 4%,束斑直径约 10 cm。
PKMu(Probing and Knocking with Muons):由北京大学 物理学院技术物理系、核物理 与核技术全国重点实验室原创提出的的缪子散射实验合作项目,旨在结合缪子散射成像技术与前沿物理研究,通过对缪子散射的测量研究核物理、标准模型和超出标准模型的新物理,如暗物质和暗玻色子探寻、量子纠缠探测、缪子与核散射规律的研究等。
