Description
Ultra-slow negative muon production is under development in J-PARC.
It may explore new fields in material science, such as surface science, precise depth analysis of sample materials after re-acceleration, and 2 or 3 dimensional scanning of samples after re-acceleration and focusing. It may also contribute to explore new fields in Particle physics. Production of both the negative and positive ultra-slow muons will make it possible to generate undiscovered true-muoniums and re-acceleration and focusing them may introduce muon collider.
Though the ultra-slow positive muon beams are already offered or under development, the study of ultra-slow negative muon production is not intensively done because capture by nuclear makes it difficult.
We will present about our ultra-slow negative muon production and the current status of the development.
