Abstract
A muon spin echo method is proposed for determining the contributions of the static and dynamic local fields in muon experiments. It is shown that if for each muon which has stopped in the sample a rf pulse of fixed duration is applied to the sample at a time τ after the muon entered the sample, then after a sufficient number of muon-positron decays have been accumulated a muon spin echo can appear at time 2τ.
