.. _func-MuoniumDecouplingCurve: ============================== Muonium-style Decoupling Curve ============================== .. index:: MuoniumDecouplingCurve Description ----------- A Muonium-style decoupling curve is defined as: .. math:: y = A_R\frac{0.5+(\frac{x}{B_0})^2}{1+(\frac{x}{B_0})^2}+A_\mathrm{BG} where - :math:`A_R` - the repolarising asymmetry - :math:`B_0` - the decoupling field - :math:`A_\mathrm{BG}` - the background asymmetry The function models the repolarisation of isotropic muonium. The x axis should be the magnetic field, typically scanned from 0 to a few kGauss. The y axis is the asymmetry. Examples -------- This has been used in examining the influence of strong magnetic field on the depolarizations of Muons[1] and in investigating the Paschen-Back Effect as a means of detecting Muonium[2]. .. attributes:: .. properties:: References ---------- [1] Orearm J. and Harris, G. and Bierman, E.
