This paper presents a brief overview of the physics with the 15-30~GeV continuous beam electron facility proposed by the European community of nuclear physicists to study the quark and gluon structure of hadrons.
Experimental and theoretical activities are underway at CERN with the aim of examining the feasibility of a very-high-flux neutrino source. In the present scheme, a high-power proton beam (some 4 MW) bombards a target where pions are…
Sub-GeV light dark matter often requires new light mediators, such as a dark $Z$ boson in the $L_\mu - L_\tau$ gauge theory. We study the search potential for such a $Z^\prime$ boson via the process $\mu e^- \to \mu e^- X$, with $X$…
From 2004 the Frascati Beam Test Facility (BTF) in the DAFNE accelerator complex provides to the external user up to 1E10 electrons per bunch or up to 10E9 positrons per bunch to develop their detectors. After an upgrade program terminated…
The physics potential of an intense source of low-energy muons is studied. Such a source is a necessary stage towards building the neutrino factories and muon colliders which are being considered at present. The CERN Neutrino Factory could…
One of the possible ways to maintain the micrometer spatial resolution while performing ion beam analysis in the air is to increase the energy of ions. In order to explore capabilities and limitations of this approach, we have tested a…

High-brightness muon beams of energy comparable to those produced by state-of-the-art electron, proton and ion accelerators have yet to be realised. Such beams have the potential to carry the search for new phenomena in lepton-antilepton…
We propose methods to produce energetic meson beams such as charged and neutral Kaons, which are boosted to be collimated and with relatively long life time. The first type of methods is based on asymmetric electron positron collisions with…

Advances in accelerator technology have led to significant improvements in the quality of muon beams over the past decades. Investigations of the muon and muonium enable precise measurements of fundamental constants, as well as searches for…
High-intensity muon beams could enable a muonium-based search for ultralight axions through resonant quantum transitions between hyperfine states. Combining theoretical calculations with simulation results, we demonstrate that such a…
The COMET experiment at J-PARC, Japan, aims to search for muon to electron conversion with aluminium nuclei, achieving a sensitivity four orders of magnitude higher than the current upper limit at a 90% confidence level. The proton beam…
Muon beams of low emittance provide the basis for the intense, well-characterised neutrino beams of a neutrino factory and for multi-TeV lepton-antilepton collisions at a muon collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment…

The main goal of a beta-beam facility is to determine the possible existence of CP violation in the lepton sector, the value of the third neutrino mixing angle and the mass hierarchy. Here we argue that a much broader physics case can be…
