Controlling implantation depth of muons
---------------------------------------
The implantation depth depends on the density of the target material and is proportional to the momentum of the incident muons.
At ISIS, the momentum of the muons can be tuned from :math:`17 \textit{MeV/c}` to :math:`120 \textit{MeV/c}` [#MAT]_.
At ISIS [#HIL3]_, the momentum of the muons can be tuned from :math:`17 \textit{MeV/c}` to :math:`120 \textit{MeV/c}` [#MAT]_.
The maximum penetration depth is a few metres for most gases depending on the pressure.
For most metals the maximum penetration depth is a few centimetres, with a resolution of few :math:`10's` to :math:`100's` of microns.
