| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the muon ionization cooling method for the first time and to establish the basic techniques. In the muon ionization cooling, muons pass through energy-absorbing material and then are accelerated parallel to the beam axis. By repeating this process several times, a muon beam becomes more parallel to the beam axis, and it is cooled. For experimental demonstration, an international research collaboration called MICE was formed and is carrying out its experiment at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The goal is to measure an ionization cooling effect and obtain required knowledge.
