2. MLF Beam Test Measurement of the Yield of Muonic Atom. By measuring electrons from the decay of the muonic atom. The time spectrum of the electrons should be the same to that of the life time of μ - in carbon (2.0 μs). The momentum spectrum of the delayed electrons should be like that of Michel spectrum. Performed at D2 in J-PARC MLF 2009A0023: 3 days 2009A0032: 1 day
