Abstract
This article employs fluid equations to analyze muon beams in gases subject to crossed electric and magnetic fields, focusing, in particular, on a scheme proposed by Taqqu [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 194801 (2006)], whereby transverse compression of the beam is achieved by creating a density gradient in the gas. A general criterion for maximizing beam compression, derived from first principles, is then applied to determine optimal experimental conditions for μ+ in helium gas. Although the calculations require the input of transport data for (μ+, He), which are generally unavailable, this issue is circumvented by “aliasing” (μ+, He) with (H+, He), for which transport coefficient data are available.
