Abstract

Carbontetrachloride has been widely used in liquid phase μ SR as a calibrant of the asymmetry in view of its supposed 100% diamagnetic muon yield. However, in the present letter, evidences are presented to show that this conventional use of CCl4 might be wrong and that there exists thermalized muonium in it that partially leads to a lost polarization.
