This ''wiki'' is presently maintained on a server at [[TRIUMF]], but it is intended to serve anyone involved or interested in µSR worldwide. To reduce the chance of abuse or vandalism, we require registration in '''[http://musr.org/ ISMS]''' (the International Society for µSR Spectroscopy) for those who wish to contribute to this ''wiki'' (editing, adding or correcting information); anonymous visitors may read all they want but may not make changes. Membership in ISMS is free of charge and entails no responsibilities other than common sense and courtesy.

The following institutions offer muon beams suitable for µSR experiments:

===[[TRIUMF]]===
The ''Tri''-''U''niversity ''M''eson ''F''acility (so named for the original three founding Universities) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, now operates as a national laboratory under the collective auspices of a growing number of Canadian Universities, with a budget from the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada. TRIUMF's facilities centre around a sector-focussed, isochronous H<SUP>-</SUP> accelerator (the world's biggest cyclotron) and a suite of radioactive beam accelerators at ISAC (Isotope Separator and ACcelerator) with several smaller cyclotrons providing isotopes for medical research.

===[[PSI]]===
The ''P''aul ''S''cherrer ''I''nstitut in Villigen, Switzerland, has the world's highest intensity muon beams. Like TRIUMF, it uses an isochronous cyclotron to achieve a continuous beam and so µSR experiments usually involve start-stop timing on individual muons, giving high time resolution but restricting rates to about 10<SUP>5</SUP> muons/second. PSI also hosts a reactor, a spallation neutron source and a synchrotron light source.

===[[ISIS]]===
The ISIS facility of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, U.K., is primarily a spallation neutron source using the pulsed beam from a proton synchrotron, but it also boasts the world's highest intensity ''pulsed'' muon beams, at least until [[J-PARC]] begins operation.

+From accelerator-driven thorium reactors to transmutation of radioactive waste to muon colliders, there are many applications of medium-energy beams that could provide or utilize low-energy muon beams that would be useful for &micro;SR.  Here is a place to add, store and update your crazy ideas!

 ===[[J-PARC]]===
 The ''J''apan ''P''roton ''A''ccelerator ''R''esearch ''C''omplex in Tokai, Japan, begin producing muons in 2008.  It may be expected to develop into a world-leading laboratory for what is now loosely termed "Medium Energy" Particle Physics, with facilities for nuclear physics, life sciences and, of course, &micro;SR.  The beam will be pulsed (similar to ISIS).

TRIUMF is still owned by a consortium of Canadian universities, but TRIUMF INC. is now a registered charity and a not-for-profit corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada.  TRIUMF's facilities have always centred around a sector-focused, isochronous H<SUP>-</SUP> accelerator (the world's biggest cyclotron) and (since the turn of the Millennium) a suite of radioactive beam accelerators at ISAC (Isotope Separator and ACcelerator) with several smaller cyclotrons providing isotopes for medical research.  For the past decade these tools have been augmented by the construction and operation of [https://www.triumf.ca/ariel ARIEL], a superconducting LINAC accelerating electrons to 30 MeV at high intensities to greatly increase production of rare isotopes at ISAC.
