Abstract
We report recent progress to date on the UT-MSL/KEK ''Ultra Slow Muon' ' project, in which thermal muonium (Mu) atoms are generated from the surface of a hot tungsten target placed at the primary 500 MeV proton beam line and resonantly ionized by intense u.v. lasers synchronized w ith the emission of the Mu. The positive muon ionization fragments are collected by electrostatic beam optics to form a beam of slow positiv e muons.
