Abstract
The phase space compression method (PSC) is applied to low energy muons produced in a high magnetic field. By making use of the existing apparatus, transverse and longitudinal PSC operations will lead to a standard low energy muon beam of energy variable between 2 keV and 20 keV. At 5 keV the beam has Δp/p<5% and can be focused on a target of 2 cm diameter.
