Target optimization studies for surface muon production

The current paper discusses possible designs for a stand alone muon target for MuSR studies of condensed matter science. Considering the ISIS 7 mm graphite target as a reference, Geant4 simulations have been performed in order to optimize the target parameters with respect to muon and pion yield. Pr...
