Positron Transport System for Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment

Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment (MACE) aims to find the charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) process. A key component of MACE is the positron transport system (PTS) to collect and transport atomic positrons from antimuonium decays, which consists of an electrostatic accelerator and a solenoid beamline. Through field simulations in \textsc{COMSOL} and particle transport simulations based on \textsc{Geant4}, the PTS can achieve a geometric acceptance of the signal at 65.81(4)\% along with a position resolution of 88(1)~$\mu$m~$\times$~102(1)~$\mu$m. The system achieves 322.4(1)~ns transit time with a spread of 6.9(1)~ns, which allows for a TOF-based rejection of internal conversion backgrounds by a factor of $10^{-7}$. These promising results pave the way for new-physics signal identifications and background rejections in MACE and offer a novel paradigm for internal transport system in high-intensity frontiers.

Development of portable cosmic-ray muon detector array for muography

As the multidisciplinary applications of cosmic-ray muons expand to large-scale and wide-area scenarios, the construction of cosmic-ray muon detector arrays has become a key solution to overcome the hardware limitations of individual detector. For muography, the array-based detector design enables fast-scanning of large target objects, allowing for rapid identification of density variation regions, which can improve the efficiency of tomography. This paper integrates scintillator detector technology with Internet of things (IoT) technology, proposing a novel array networking model for nationwide deployment. The model enables long-distance data collection and distribution, laying the foundation for future multidisciplinary applications such as muography and other fields.

Conceptual Design of the Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment (MACE)

The spontaneous conversion of muonium to antimuonium is one of the interesting charged lepton flavor violation phenomena offering a sensitive probe of potential new physics and serving as a tool to constrain the parameter space beyond the Standard Model. The Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment (MACE) is designed to utilize a high-intensity muon beam, a Michel electron magnetic spectrometer, a positron transport system, and a positron detection system, to either discover or constrain this rare process with a conversion probability of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-13})$. This article presents an overview of the theoretical framework as well as a detailed description of the experimental design for the search for muonium-to-antimuonium conversion.
