Abstract
The positive muon (μ+) is one of the elementary particles classified as leptons, which is mass-produced as secondary ion beams in modern proton accelerator facilities. Because of the parity violation in the weak interaction which causes the parent pion (π +) to decay into a muon and a neutrino (ν μ ), muons are always 100% spin-polarized along the direction of the muon momentum. This feature allows us to readily obtain spin-polarized muon beams for various applications.
