چکیده
B. Lee Roberts , Department of Physics, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA for the Muon Collaboration[1] Abstract The Muon experiment, E821, at the Brookhaven AGS has the goal to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment to a relative accuracy of . A superferric 14 m diameter storage ring has been constructed and an averaged magnetic field uniformity over the 90 mm diameter muon storage region of 1 part per million (ppm) has been achieved. A truncated double-cosine superconducting septum magnet (the inflector) was constructed along with a fast non-ferric kicker. The performance of the storage ring, along with the physics results are reviewed.

متن کاملKaon Physics with a High-intensity Proton Driver
We study opportunities for future high-precision experiments in kaon physics using a high-intensity proton driver, which could be part of the front-end of a muon storage ring complex. We discuss in particular the rare decays KL → π0νν̄, K+ → π+νν̄, KL → π0e+e−, and lepton-flavour violating modes such as KL → μe and K → πμe. The outstanding physics potential and longterm interest of these modes is...
متن کاملHigh-precision Storage Ring for G-2 of the Muon and Possible Applications in Particle and Heavy Ion Physics
A new superferric magnetic storage ring with highly homogeneous eld at 1.45 T and weak electrostatic focussing is described which has been set up at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), USA, for a precision measurement of the magnetic anomaly of the muon. The toroidal storage volume has a radius of 7 m and a diameter of 9 cm. Precision magnetic eld determination based on pulsed NMR on prot...
متن کاملCompact storage ring to search for the muon electric dipole moment
We present the concept of a compact storage ring of less than 0.5 m orbit radius to search for the electric dipole moment of the muon (dμ) by adapting the “frozen spin” method. At existing muon facilities a statistics limited sensitivity of dμ ∼ 5 × 10 e cm can be achieved within one year of data taking. Reaching this precision would demonstrate the viability of this novel technique to directly...
متن کاملMuon Acceleration: Introduction and Limiting Technologies
An accelerator complex that can produce ultra-intense beams of muons presents many opportunities to explore new physics. These facilities are unique in that, in a relatively straightforward way, they can present a physics program that can be staged and thus move forward incrementally, addressing exciting new physics at each step. An intense cooled lowenergy muon source can be used to perform ex...
