By the progress of accelerator technology in recent years, high
intensity negative muon beam becomes available. For example negative
muon beam with intensity of 106/s or more is available in J-PARC
MUSE. It enables us a completely new negative muon science that never
been done; non-destructive elemental analysis by muon. This method
can identify all elements including light elements even if these are
existing deeply inside of a material. Now, application researches
using this analysis method are starting in a various research fields
such as archeology, earth and planetary science, analyzing industrial
products and so on.
In this project research, two types of detectors will be applied for
elemental analysis method by muon beam. One is a high spatial
resolution imaging detector and the other is a detector with
extremely high energy resolution. Both of them have been developed
for space observation experiments. Using these detectors, we will
improve the present elemental analysis method by muon and achieve
non-destructive 3D imaging including the isotope information of light
elements. For this purpose, we are planning to establish a new
experimental system connected to the muon beam line at J-PARC MUSE,
and conduct fundamental researches for development of this method.
