Muonium-style Decoupling Curve

.. index:: MuoniumDecouplingCurve

Description

A Muonium-style decoupling curve is defined as:

y = A_R\frac{0.5+(\frac{x}{B_0})^2}{1+(\frac{x}{B_0})^2}+A_\mathrm{BG}

where

  • A_R - the repolarising asymmetry
  • B_0 - the decoupling field
  • A_\mathrm{BG} - the background asymmetry

The function models the repolarisation of isotropic muonium. The x axis should be the magnetic field, typically scanned from 0 to a few kGauss. The y axis is the asymmetry.

Examples

This has been used in examining the influence of strong magnetic field on the depolarizations of Muons[1] and in investigating the Paschen-Back Effect as a means of detecting Muonium[2].
