Physics experiments and research groups using PDSF include:
|
AMANDA - Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array |

The physics goal of AGS experiment E895 is to study multiparticle correlations - especially collective effects - as well as particle production and critical phenomena in a variety of heavy ion systems up to Au + Au, over a range of AGS beam energies. |
PDSF Contact: Gulshan Rai - GRai@lbl.gov |
The E895 collaboration is using PDSF as the production facility for analysis of raw data into DSTs. |
|

MuCap -
Precision Measurement of Muon
Capture on the Proton
|
![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090117054501im_/https://www.nersc.gov/nusers/resources/PDSF/img/mu-3dshade_o.jpg) |
This negative muon capture rate determines
the least well known weak coupling constant of the
proton, g_p, and tests chiral perturbation theory
and various models of nucleon structure.
MuCap will analyze over 10^10 muon decays in
ultra-clean deuterium-depleted hydrogen.
