This study explores the effects of copper (Cu) contamination on lithium hydride (LiH) through a zero-emittance muon beam at 200 MeV/c. We analyze the impact of Cu concentrations of 0 ppm, 140 ppm, and 1000 ppm on the scattering and energy loss properties of LiH using a histogram method. Our findings indicate that 140 ppm of Cu contamination does not significantly affect the multiple scattering or energy loss when compared to pure LiH. The investigation includes 1,000,000 events to ensure robust statistical results.

Background • 100 mm LiH, 500 mm radius • Zero-emittance μ+ beam, 200 MeV/c(=120 MeV) • Histograms immediately downstream of LiH • Contamination: 0 ppm, 140 ppm, 1000 ppm • 1,000,000 events • Pure LiH is a line plot, points with errorbars are contaminated: 140 ppm is red, 1000 ppm is blue LiH Contaminated with Cu
