DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Thomas Prokscha (Paul Scherrer Institute)\nThe Labor
 atory for Muon Spin Spectroscopy (LMU) at PSI develops and operates the si
 x muon instruments of the Swiss Muon Source (SμS). We give an overview of
  the current status\, with an update on the commissioning of the new FLAME
  instrument and the upgrade plan of the μE4 beamline to increase the rate
  of low-energy muons by 50% in 2025. Furthermore\, a new experimental faci
 lity is under development: the Muon-Induced-Xray-Emission (MIXE) instrumen
 t using negative muons for non-destructive\, depth-selective elemental ana
 lysis of archeological artefacts\, extraterrestrial samples and for operan
 do studies of devices.\n\nOn a longer term\, PSI is planning the major upg
 rade project IMPACT of the High-Intensity Proton Accelerator (HIPA). IMPAC
 T ("Isotope and Muon Production using Advanced Cyclotron and Target techno
 logies") aims for the production of radioactive isotopes for cancer diagno
 sis and therapy\, and the installation of HIMB\, the two "High Intensity M
 uon Beams". HIMB involves the replacement of the existing target M and the
  two beamlines πM1 and πM3 by a new target H with two very high-intensit
 y surface muon beamlines μH2 and μH3 with muon rates up to 1010/s. This 
 will offer unique new possibilities for muon applications [1]. Installatio
 n of this major facility upgrade is foreseen in a 1.5 years shutdown in 20
 27/2028. The project proposal is currently being under evaluation.\n\n[1]
