A cloud muon of 30 $-$ 34 MeV/c from a surface muon channel is optimal. \item The charged particles are measured by dE/dx method by two pairs of silicon detectors. Active area of each silicon detector is 5$\times$5 cm$^2$, the dE detectors are 65 $\mu m$ thick, and the E detectors are 1500 $\mu m$ thick. \item Muon normalization: muonic X-ray measurement by a germanium detector. \item Correction for energy loss of charged particles in the targets: using a response function obtained from the use of the active silicon target, where the energy loss can be measured. A waveform digitizer will be used to readout signals from the active target. \end{itemize} \end{minipage} \end{block} \vskip2ex % Simulation result \begin{block}{Calculations} \begin{itemize} \item Using Geant4, with assumptions: \begin{itemize} \item [-] Muon momentum 30 MeV/c, momentum spread 5\%. \item [-] Muon intensity: 10$^4$ muons/sec. \item [-] Proton emission rate is 0.15 per muon capture, the same value as being used in COMET and Mu2e calculations. \item [-] Efficiency of silicon detectors are 100\%. \item [-] Energy resolution (FWHM) of silicon detectors are: 140 keV for the 65 $\mu m$-thick detectors, and 40 keV for the $140 \mu m$-thick detectors. \end{itemize} \item Simulation results of particle identification and rate estimation is shown in Figure \ref{fig:dEdx} and Table \ref{tb:rates}. \end{itemize} %\begin{minipage}[]{1.1\onecolwid} \begin{figure}[] \includegraphics[width=1.25\onecolwid]{figs/dEdx} \caption{Particle identification with two silicon detectors} \label{fig:dEdx} \end{figure} %\end{minipage} %\begin{minipage}[c]{0.9\onecolwid} %\begin{table}[htb!] %\begin{center} %\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline %Target & \% Stopping & Event rate (Hz) & Event rate (Hz) \\ %thickness ($\mu$m)& in target & All particles & Protons \\ %\hline %50 & 2 & 8.1 & 1.0 \\ \hline %100 & 16 & 21.3 & 1.5 \\ \hline %150 & 38 & 39.9 & 2.1 \\ \hline %200 & 53 & 51.1 & 2.4 \\ \hline %\end{tabular} %\end{center} %\caption{Estimated event rates for various targets of different %thickness. } %\label{tb:rates} %\end{table} %\end{minipage} \end{block} %\begin{columns}[t,totalwidth=\twocolwid] % split up that three-column-wide column %\begin{column}{\onecolwid} %\setbeamercolor{block title}{fg=red,bg=white}%frame color %\setbeamercolor{block body}{fg=black,bg=white}%body color %\begin{block}{Block Colours} %For the standard blocks there are two colours; one for the title and one for the block body:\\ %\begin{semiverbatim} %{\color{red}\\setbeamercolor}\{block title\}\newline \{fg=red,bg=white\} %\end{semiverbatim} %\begin{semiverbatim} %{\color{red}\\setbeamercolor}\{block body\}\newline \{fg=black,bg=white\} %\end{semiverbatim} %The \emph{fg} colour sets the text colour and \emph{bg} sets the background colour. %For the normal blocks it makes no sense to use a background colour other than white.
