ABSTRACT: Elemental particle physics is known to have three frontiers, which are the energy frontier, the cosmic frontier and the intensity frontier. In the intensity frontier, by using precision measurements, we try to search for new physics beyond the standard model. To make precision measurements, muons and neutrons have attracted much attentions. Muons have a relatively long lifetime among unstable elementary particles and many many muons can be produced by recent technology development. Neutrons are stable and can be decelerated to very low energy even they have a neutral charge. In this lecture, I would like to present the frontier particle physics topics with muons and neutrons. They would cover a search for charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) with muons, searches for permanent electric dipole moments of muons and neutrons, and so on. Also I would mention some applications of muons and neutrons to general science as well.
