Description

Artificial muon sources have come closer to reality with the acceleration of electrons using high power laser systems (HPLS). Gamma-induced muons, with forward momenta, can be obtained up to high energies. Indirect measurements of muons, relying on detecting the delayed electrons resulting from muons decays, have confirmed in 2025 the presence of muons in the beams resulting from the interaction of laser-accelerated electrons with solid targets.
We present direct measurements of GeV muons and transmission measurements performed at ELI-NP, using the 10 PW beam.
