Starting from 2012, a high field muSR (muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance) facility will come into operation in the piE3 secondary beam line located at the target station E of the PSI proton accelerator. For this purpose, the last part of the beam line has been redesigned in order to integrate two electrostatic spin rotator devices providing a 90° rotation of the muon spin. At the same time, requirements of small beam diameter (σ ≈ 10 mm) as well as small momentum bite (δp/p ≈ 1%) in the sample region have to be met. This work focuses on the simulation of the beam optics (28 MeV/c design momentum). Particular concern is given to potential transmission losses caused by the spin rotator devices. The matching of the beam line with the high magnetic field up to 9.5 T surrounding the sample region has been considered as well. An overview of the spin rotator devices, specifically designed for this project, is also presented.

We describe the device for focusing of charged particles by the system of separated conductors which follow the parabolic profile. Basically this is a horn-type focuser, but with the individual conductors instead of continuous surface. This device allows substantial reduction of fabrication cost with the same focusing properties as the continuous parabolic surface. We recommend this “bird-cage” type system for focusing pions/muons in the projects under discussion in many Laboratories around the World.
