Muons for Science and Security (MuS2): The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals for a directional source of muons produced at relevant energies and in sufficient quantities to support demonstrations of national security and scientific applications. Proposed research shall investigate the generation of directional muon beams with 10 GeV to 100 GeV energies and produce 10^6 to 10^8 muons, while showing a clear path to a practical design for a transportable system. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
