Description
This work describes the new M9H muon decay channel at TRIUMF, which is specifically designed to deliver high quality transversely spin polarized beams. Transverse polarizations in both X and Y of ~80% over the momentum range 70-120MeV/c are expected. In contrast to a traditional z-polarized decay beam the key to accomplishing this task lies in the extraction an off-centre momentum-canted distribution of muons exiting the decay solenoid. We describe both the theoretical and practical considerations that have informed the design.
