Abstract

We present μ+ paramagnetic shift measurements between 12 K and about 65 mK in cerium magnesium nitrate (CMN) to investigate its utility as an in‐situ temperature calibration source for low temperature μSR experiments. CMN is a salt which exhibits Curie‐law susceptibility to temperatures as low as 5 mK. The μ+ Knight shift is measured to be -(1.46\pm 0.03)\times 10-3/T+(0.004\pm 0.02)\times 10-3, corresponding to a transferred hyperfine field of -39 Oe/\mu_ B.
