Existing Hightime spectrometer TRIUMF is 8T/2K=4T/KB/T in New spectrometer ~200 times larger!
What is the interest in low T and high B ?CMP is the study of the collective behaviour of electronsLow T ground state and elementary excitationsHigh B/T Zeeman energy>> kTnew ground states new properties

1. Independent source of 8Li for beta-NMR at TNF or proton hall
2. A high field low temperature muSR spectrometer. CFI +Japanese funding?
3. A low energy muon beamline with 1000 +/s at the sample could probably be made here at TRIUMF. However the money might be better spent helping to build a low energy muon at J-PARC.
