For the last 30 years, muon experiments at ISIS pulsed neutron and muon facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire have been making a significant contribution to a number of scientific fields. The muon facilities at ISIS consist of eight experimental areas. The European Commission Muon facility consists of three experimental areas with a fixed momentum (28 MeV c −1 ). The RIKEN-RAL facility has a variable momentum (17–90 MeV c −1 ) and a choice of negative or positive muons delivering muons to four experimental areas. There is also an area recently used for a muon ionization cooling experiment. In this paper, the ISIS pulsed muon facilities are reviewed, including the beam characteristics that could be useful for muography experiments. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘Cosmic-ray muography’.

The Rosat Observatory was launched on June 1st, 1990, and after a brief Performance Verification phase, performed an almost complete sky survey. One of the two main telescopes on the Observatory is the UK Wide Field Camera (WFC). The WFC is the first extreme ultraviolet (EUV) instrument to survey the whole sky, and during the survey detected several hundred active late-type stars.The WFC (Wells et al., 1990) was built by a consortium of five UK institutes, four Universities and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. During the all-sky survey, two filters were used. These allow broad-band photometry to be performed. The SIA filter (lexan/carbon/boron) and S2A filter (lexan/beryllium) were alternated on a one day basis. The SIA filter covers the energy range 0.085-0.180 KeV, centred on 0.124 KeV, while the softer S2A filter covers the range 0.070-0.110 KeV (centred on 0.090 KeV) (10% efficiency) [see Kent et al. (1990) for a full description of the WFC filters].
