This paper introduces a new approach to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly and the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) at the J-PARC muon facility. The goal of our experiment is to measure and using an independent method with a factor of 10 lower muon momentum, and a factor of 20 smaller diameter storage-ring solenoid compared with previous and ongoing muon g-2 experiments with unprecedented quality of the storage magnetic field. Additional significant differences from the present experimental method include a factor of 1000 smaller transverse emittance of the muon beam (reaccelerated thermal muon beam), its efficient vertical injection into the solenoid, and tracking each decay positron from muon decay to obtain its momentum vector. The precision goal for is a statistical uncertainty of 450 parts per billion (ppb), similar to the present experimental uncertainty, and a systematic uncertainty less than 70 ppb. The goal for EDM is a sensitivity of ecm.

The prototype accelerator is being developed as an engineering validation for the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) equipped with an accelerator-driven-type neutron source for developing fusion reactor materials. This prototype accelerator is a deuteron linear accelerator consisting of an injector, an RFQ, a superconducting linac and their auxiliaries. It aims to produce a CW D beam with the energy and current of 9 MeV/125 mA. The injector test was completed at CEA/Saclay in 2012 for producing a CW H beam and a CW D beam with the energy and current of 100 keV/140 mA. After the beam test at CEA/Saclay, the injector was transported to the International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) located in Rokkasho, Aomori, Japan. In the end of 2013, installation of the injector was started at IFERC for the injector beam test beginning from summer 2014 in order to obtain better beam qualities to be satisfied with the injection and acceleration of the following accelerators. In this paper, some results of the injector beam test performed at CEA/Saclay and the status quo of the installation of the injector at IFERC are presented.

Solutions of partial differential equations with the CIP-BS method

JSME International Journal, Series B, 47(4), p.761 - 767, 2004/11

In this paper, we show that a new numerical method, the Constrained Interpolation Profile - Basis Set (CIP-BS) method, can solve partial differential equations (PDEs) with high accuracy and can be a universal solver by presenting examples for the solutions of typical parabolic, hyperbolic, and elliptic equations. Here, we present the numerical errors caused by this method, and illustrate that the solutions by the CIP-BS method, in which fifth order polynomials are used to constrain the values and first and second order spatial derivatives, are highly refined compared to those by the CIP-BS method, in which third order polynomials are used to constrain the values and first order spatial derivatives. The fact that this method can unambiguously solve PDEs with an one-to-one correspondence to analytical requirements is also shown for PDEs including singular functions like the Dirac delta function with Dirichet or Neumann boundary conditions. This method is straightforwardly applicable to PDEs describing complex physical and engineering problems.

We conducted high-precision measurements of the wavelength of the nickel-like silver X-ray laser in order to compare it with a theoretical wavelength. The reasons for using this laser are as follows: First, this laser line is in the wavelength region of Mo/Si multi-layer mirrors; therefore, this laser line is important for applications. Second, the strongamplification of this laser line has been obtained in our previous work, and the higher order line in the spectra obtained by our spectrometer can be used. Third, since silver is arelatively low-z material (z = 47), this wavelength is a ideal benchmark of atomic structural codes such as the Multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) code. The wavelength of the nickel-like silver X-ray laser was determined to be 13.887 nm. The comparison with MCDF codes shows that the present experimental result can work as a good benchmark of the accuracy of the codes.
