The Muon Scattering Experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut uses a mixed beam of electrons, muons, and pions, necessitating precise timing to identify particles reactions they cause. We describe design performance three detectors using plastic scintillator read out with silicon photomultipliers that have been built for experiment. Beam Hodoscope, upstream scattering target, counts flux precisely times both species provide starting time time-of-flight measurements. Monitor, downstream...

The MUon Scattering Experiment, MUSE, at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland, investigates proton charge radius puzzle, lepton universality, and two-photon exchange, via simultaneous measurements of elastic muon-proton electron-proton scattering. experiment uses PiM1 secondary beam channel, which was designed for high precision pion scattering measurements. We review properties line established pions. discuss production processes that generate electron muon beams, simulations these...
