PSI ?
4 PSI : Paul Scherrer Institut ✤ Largest Swiss Federal Institute for a lot of Scientific research activities. ✤ Mainly based on “ proton cyclotron ” and “ nuclear reactor ” because this institute was merged by two institutes in 1988: ✤ SIN : Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research PSI ✤ EIR : Federal Institute for Reactor Research ✤ something similar with combination of KEK and JAEA in Japan ✤ PSI is a member of ETH domain (ETHZ, EPFL); for not only Particle- Nuclear but also Structure of Matter, Energy & Environment, and Health. ✤ However, according to its prestigious history of powerful cyclotron, PSI is still referred as “ Mecca of Meson Factory ” like TRIUMF, LAMPF, RAL.

6 PSI Proton Cyclotron ✤ The cyclotron facility contains a cascade of three accelerators that deliver a proton beam of 590 MeV energy at a current up to 2 mA (1.2 MW) . ✤ Pre-accelerated in a C-W column to an energy of 870 keV, secondary- accelerated in the 4-sector Injector 2 cyclotron up to 72 MeV. ✤ Final acceleration of the main beam to 590 MeV occurs in the large 8- sector Ring Cyclotron, from which the beam is transported through the experimental hall in a shielded tunnel.

Muon Beamline
9 As a “ Meson Factory ” ✤ PSI provides beam time for particle physics and other experiments. Its unique specialty is very high intensity pion and muon beams of momenta up to a few hundred MeV/ c . ✤ Each beam line is designed for “surface”, “subsurface”, “cloud”, and “low-E μ SR” muons, except for π M1. ✤ The world most intense DC muon beam (~10 8 muon/sec) is available. ✤ Two target station, M (thin, 5 mm C) and E (thick, 40/60 mm C), are equipped; Two beam lines are attached with Target-M and Five beam lines are attached with Target-E. ✤ One beam line is used for test beam purpose, Three beam lines are exclusively used for μ SR, and Three beam lines are used for Particle/ Nuclear Physics experiments.
