Short Abstract (up to 700 symbols): brief outline of the main idea of the work: A Muon station for sciEnce, technoLOgy and inDustrY (MELODY) project has started construction in the beginning of 2024 at China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). A stand-alone target station is designed to produce pions and muons.Three muon beamlines are designed for various applications, including a surface muon beam, a dedicated negative muon beam and one decay muon beamline. A muSR spectrometer is designed with 3024 detectors. In this report, we introduce the application of muons in condensed matter and superconducting materials, and describe the design and progress of MELODY.

Muon beams have been used in various applications including particle physics [1] and material research [2].The muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (μSR) techniques use the high sensitivity of polarized muon spins to magnetic fields to study the microscopic magnetic structure and dynamics of condensed matter. In China, we have designed a Muon station for sciEnce, technoLOgy and inDustrY (MELODY) based on China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). The project will be constructed during the Phase II upgrade of CSNS. As a start-up project, we will build one surface muon beamline with one μSR spectrometer and leave the decay muon beamline and more terminals for the future. Here we briefly introduce the CSNS facility and report the progress of the design and technique development of MELODY.
