Abstract
A chopped positive muon beam with high intensity, low momentum, and hi gh purity has been developed at LAMPF using a high voltage chopper sys tem. The rise and fall times of the chopped muon beam are approximatel y 100 ns, the repetition rate extends up to 100 kHz and the extinction ratio for muons is 0.3%. The beam chopper system is described and the test results are presented. This chopped high intensity mu+ beam is t o be used to achieve resonance line-narrowing in a precision microwave spectroscopy experiment on muonium.
