Implantation studies of keV positive muons in thin metallic layers
2002
Abstract The implantation of low energy polarized positive muons (μ + ) with energies between 0.5 and 30 keV in thin ( + decay asymmetry which is essentially proportional to the fraction of μ + stopping in the metal layer. From this quantity also the backscattering probability from the metallic layer can be obtained. The results are compared with predictions of implantation profiles of muons obtained with the TRIM.SP and SRIM2000 Monte Carlo codes. The applicability of these simulations to predict the interaction of low energy muons in matter and observed differences with the experimental data are discussed.
