MUSIC, THE WORLD'S HIGHEST INTENSE DC MUON BEAM USING A PION CAPTURE SYSTEM

MuSIC is a project to provide the world’s highestintensity muon beam with continuous time structure at Research Center of Nuclear Physics (RCNP) of Osaka University, Japan. A pion capture system using a superconducting solenoid magnet and a part of superconducting muon transport solenoid channel have been build in 2009. The highest muon production efficiency was demonstrated by the beam tests. Results of the beam test conclude that the MuSIC can provide more than 10 8 muons/sec using a 400 W proton beam.
