Summary

The precise measurement of the hyperfine splitting of the
muonic-hydrogen atom ground state will be performed by exploiting the
energy dependence of the transfer rate from hydrogen to heavier gases.
The development of this tecnique, of the gas target and of the X-ray
detection system will pave the way for new and innovative experiments
based on muon spectroscopy which could lead to discover and study
physics beyond the standard model. Preliminary results of the
measurement of the transfer rate from hydrogen to heavier gases will be
presented together with detectors and target characterization.
