Abstract

The muon science facility (MUSE, abbreviation of MUon Science Establishment), along with the neutron, hadron, and neutrino facilities, is under construction at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) in Tokai. The MUSE facility is located in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF), which is a building integrating both neutron and muon science programs. About 85% of the 3 GeV, 333 μA (1 MW) beam from the Rapid Cycle Synchrotron (RCS) is sent to the MLF for the production of intense pulsed neutron and muon beams, while the remaining 15% is sent to the 50 GeV ring for further acceleration for the kaon and neutrino physics programs.
