Description
Several next generation precision measurements like muonium (Mu=$\mu^{+}e^{-}$) spectroscopy, (g-2)$_{\mu}$, searches for $\textrm{Mu}$-$\overline{\textrm{Mu}}$ oscillations and muon ($\mu^{+}$) electric dipole moment can be conceived with improved $\mu^{+}$ and Mu beams.
The principle of the novel $\mu^{+}$ beam line proposed in PRL \textbf{97}, 194801 (2006) is to stop a standard $\mu^{+}$ beam in He gas at cryogenic temperatures, and to compress the $\mu^{+}$ swarm using electric and magnetic fields and gradients of gas densities. Results of the longitudinal compression measured at $\pi$E1 beam line of PSI together with the proposed test of transverse compression will be presented.
