Description

Conventional muon beams are produced using proton beams and are used in material sciences such as $\mu$SR and elemental analysis, and fundamental physics experiments such as muon g-2 measurements and precision measurements of muoniums. These muon beams have high intensity but poor emittance, and their kinetic energies are $O$(1) MeV. On the other hand, muon beams with a low emittance on the order of 10 GeV can be produced by using a high-energy electron/positron beam at the ILC. This is expected to have a wide range of applications such as radiography of huge structures, which has been conventionally performed with cosmic-ray muons, with high resolution using accelerator-generated muons. This talk will overview the way to produce muons from electron/positron beams at the ILC.
