"Tracking decay positrons in a magnetic field for muon microscope applications" - Journal of Physics: Conference Series, Vol. 2462, 2023 Citation C Young and K M Kojima 2023 J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 2462 012013 DOI 10.1088/1742-6596/2462/1/012013

In this article, we explored the feasibility of a Muon Microscope designed to enhance positional resolution by tracking positron trajectories back to their source positions. Under the influence of a magnetic field, positrons with trajectory components perpendicular to the field exhibit helical motion due to the Lorentz force. By incorporating special relativity, we analytically determined these trajectories in a uniform magnetic field. Additionally, we assessed more practical scenarios, including the impact of finite detector spatial resolutions and positron scattering from materials along their paths.
