OSTI ID:5287839

Investigation of the mu-mesic x-ray spectrum of the Americium isotopes 241 and 243 is discussed. Difficulties in appropriately shielding the low-energy target x-rays while allowing the higher energy mesic x-rays to pass are discussed. The experiment was run at the Stopping Muon Channel of the LAMPF accelerator during July 1981. Appendices to the document include the research proposed, an article on the synthesis of volatile lanthanides (Ln, Ho, and Tb 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione, and Ho 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-7,7-dimethyl-4,6-heptanedione chelates), and an article on the muonic Lyman x-ray intensities in pure elements.
