A two-part Colloquium by
Jess H. Brewer
of CIAR, UBC and TRIUMF
at The University of Northern British Columbia
Thursday 26 February 2004
In the past few decades, muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance
(µSR) has become an indispensible experimental tool
of condensed matter physics, chemistry and other material science
disciplines.
I will outline the basic physics and technology
that make µSR possible, the principal µSR techniques
and their main areas of application. Then I will stop for questions.
If, after a short break, people want to hear more about one of the
highlights of recent µSR work at TRIUMF, I will go into extra
detail about whichever of the following subjects the audience chooses:
