Welcome to the course on muon spin spectroscopy. This course is made up of ten modules: ‘Cosmic Ray Muons’, ‘Different Types of μSR’, ‘Analysis Methods of μSR’, 'Studying Diffusion with Muon Spin Relaxation', ‘Muon Data Analysis using Mantid Workbench’, ‘Muon Data Analysis Using MantidPlot’, ‘Muesr’, ‘Using Maximum Entropy Analysis in Mantid’, ‘Analysing ALC Data in Mantid’ and ‘Muon Data Analysis Using WiMDA’.

Within the Cosmic Ray Muons module you will learn the fundamentals of muons and their applications within a simple experiment. The Different Types of μSR module covers the principles and applications of the six variations of μSR, and Analysis Methods of μSR goes through the various ways the data from these experiments can be analysed. Within the Muon Data Analysis modules, you will learn basic data analysis of real experimental data using either the MantidPlot or WiMDA software.
