Description
Shanghai High-repetition-rate XFEL and Extreme Light (SHINE) Facility provides an 8 GeV, 1 MHz, 100 pC electron beam, offers a unique driver for an electron-driven muon source complementary to existing proton-based facilities. Simulation studies have demonstrated the potential of such a source for muon-based fundamental physics and applied research. Realization of this type of muon beamline presents challenges, including lower per-bunch yield, high background, and the need for new measurement methods. As a first step, we propose a feasibility study of a muon yield measurement at SHINE facility using a compact vacuum chamber with scintillator detectors. The measurement strategy is validated through end-to-end simulation incorporating optical photon process and realistic photodetector response, demonstrating that muon decay signal can be isolated from the mixed secondary beam.
