Abstract
Abstract A Muon station for sciEnce, technoLOgy and inDustrY (MELODY) has been listed in the China Spallation Neutron Source upgrade plan, and the infrastructure construction is scheduled to start by the end of 2022. The 1.6 GeV double-pulsed proton bunch will be extracted from the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) ring to a stand-alone target station. One surface muon and one decay muon beamline are designed to provide multi-terminals for applications. In this report, we describe the design of MELODY and prospect for future applications.
