Timing Analysis in the MUSE Experiment

ORAL

Abstract

The MUon proton Scattering Experiment (MUSE) at the PiM1 beam line of the Paul Scherrer Institute is simultaneously measuring the elastic scattering of electrons and muons from a liquid hydrogen target to extract the charge radius of the proton. Both beam polarities will be measured over the course of the experiment. By comparing the four scattering cross sections, the experiment will provide unique muon proton scattering data with a precision sufficient to address the proton radius puzzle, and will directly measure two-photon exchange effects for both muons and electrons. In this talk, I will discuss the recent effort on improving the timing analysis at MUSE experiment. Results from time walk corrections and determination of the beam momenta using RF timing will be shown.
