.. index:: MuoniumDecouplingCurve
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.
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].
