RIKEN has constructed a pulsed muon facility at Rutherford Appleton Laborat
ory (RAL) in the UK under an international collaboration between RIKEN and
RAL to promote muon science. We have confirmed that the facility produces a
pulsed decay muon beam as well as a pulsed surface positive muon beam with
the highest instantaneous intensity in the world and initiated the muon sc
ience research program, which includes muon catalyzed fusion, since June 19
