A Novel Precision Measurement of Muon g-2/EDM at J-PARC
Prof. Dr. Naohito Saito (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), Japan)


A precision measurement of muon dipole moments have been playing important role to test the standard model of particle physics in the past and to shape the new physics in recent years. We plan to launch an experiment to perform precision measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (aka "g-2") and electric dipole moment with a novel technique at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, J-PARC. This experiment requires a muon source with very small emittance, muon acceleration, spiral injection of the muon beam into super-precision magnetic field with 66-cm diameter and high-rate tracking system. The current status and prospect of the experiment will be described in this seminar.
