[Research] World’s first cooling and acceleration of muons – The first muon accelerator finally coming to a reality –

2024.05.23
Research

The J-PARC muon g-2/EDM experimental group, which includes Professor Toru Iijima, Designated Lecturer Kazuhito Suzuki, Associate Professor Kenji Inami, and graduate students Kazuji Sumi, Koichi Ueda, and Ayaka Kondo, has successfully cooled and accelerated positively charged muons for the first time in the world.

This achievement marks a major step toward launching an ultra-precise verification of the Standard Model. Additionally, a completely new imaging technique using accelerated muons is being considered for various applications, including muon microscopy and interdisciplinary research between the humanities and sciences.
