Abstract:
The decay time of negative muonlike particle mu^- is estimated from the final secondary electron current characteristic in the beam collector (BC) of the magnetic mass analyzer (MA ) where a radio frequency (RF) bias voltage is applied. The secondary electron current between BC and MA is produced by the final secondary electrons due to mu^- and positive ions in MA, which depends on the RF frequency of the RF bias voltage to BC. When a period of the RF frequency approaches to the decay time of mu^-, the secondary electron current to BC decreases abruptly (e-folding).
