Measuring muons: The longitudinal field μSR spectrum of a single crystal of benzophenone (see picture) shows significant sensitivity to simultaneous irradiation with NIR radiation of wavelengths >850 nm. The possible use of this phenomenon in a strategy to measure the vibrational modes of a muoniated centre is discussed.
