Development of a new precision measurement of the Muon g-2 at JPARC

We are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join our international collaboration for the precision measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) at J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex). This project offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in experimental particle physics, aiming to improve our understanding of fundamental interactions.

The muon g-2 experiment at J-PARC will employ an innovative method on low emittance beam of positive muon stored muons in a compact muon storage magnet. The experimental method includes new technologies such as a three-dimensional spiral injection, an MRI-type storage magnet with superb field uniformity, and a positron tracking detector. A new measurement of the muon g-2 using a completely different approach, will be crucial for independently verifying the current prediction of the muon anomaly and exploring potential new physics beyond the Standard Model.

 

The successful candidate will:

  • Participate in detector development and optimization.
  • Study the feasibility of higher polarization of muons based on muonium ionization by laser
  • Develop and implement simulation tools to study the systematic uncertainties.
  • Collaborate with international teams on experimental measurement and results interpretation.
