Description

The PiM1 beam line at PSI has been employed during the last years mainly for detector tests and irradiation experiments. The beam momentum ranges from 10 to 500 MeV/c and the particle mixture includes electrons, muons, pions and protons. Recently, the momentum dependent fractional composition of negatively charged beam was measured by employing the time of flight (TOF) technique. The resulting beam line characterization is presented in this contribution. Moreover, a new TOF beam telescope for the PiM1 beam line is currently being developed by the MUSE (Muon proton Scattering Experiment) collaboration. During the tests, time resolution around 60 ps and efficiency in the order of 99.9 % have been demonstrated. In the near future, such detector could become a fixed installation of the PiM1 beam line.
