5. Ongoing questions:
Behavior of different families of unconventional SCs?
Cuprates Heavy fermion SCs Organic SCs
Sr2RuO4 Fe pnictides etc.
How do magnetism / magnetic fluctuations relate?
Normal state behavior, M-I / structural links?
Holy Grail:
What is the comprehensive theory of unconventional superconductivity?
Present Study
6. Production of muons
Protons extracted from cyclotron/synchrotron
p + low Z production target ? ?+ + stuff
?+ ? ?+ + ??
parity violation: beam is spin polarized
separate out positrons, etc.
collimate / steer beam to sample
Polarized muon sources:
TRIUMF, Vancouver BC
PSI, Switzerland
ISIS, UK (pulsed)
KEK, Japan (pulsed)
