Development of a muon linear accelerator based on this technology is in progress, including actual equipment fabrication and detailed design. Muon acceleration technology is essential for experiments to precisely measure the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, for which preparations are underway at the J-PARC Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF). In this method, he has demonstrated the deceleration of muons down to less than 1 keV by simply injecting muons into a thin metal film, and the acceleration and bunching of muons by the RFQ, which is a unique method to solve decades-old problems in a limited experimental environment. He succeeded in high-frequency acceleration of muons for the first time in the world by a unique combination of muon cooling by generating negative muonium ion (bound state of positive muon and two electrons) and by using a radio-frequency quadrupole linear accelerator (RFQ). Muon acceleration is one of the issues in the field of high energy physics that has not been realized yet, despite the fact that it has been continuously discussed due to its potential. Its purpose is to honor young researchers with prominent research achievements and to promote the development of leaders in physics in the Asia Pacific region.
