Description

The intensity frontier has, in addition to technological developments, enabled a boom in muon physics allowing both mu- & mu+ beams to set some of the most stringent limits on fundamental parameters and decays, also reflected in the increased demand for muonic atom spectroscopy experiments. A general overview of muon beam production techniques and possibilities offered by PSI's High Intensity Proton Accelerator complex (HIPA) will be presented placing emphasis on mu- beams for muonic atom formation. Future prospects will also be addressed.
