Hit-rate capability of a silicon strip detector module for decay positron detection in the J-PARC muon $g-2$/EDM experiment

In the J-PARC muon $g-2$/EDM experiment, a silicon strip detector will be used to detect positrons from muon decays. The detector consists of planes of detector modules arranged radially. The expected maximum hit rate reaches 1.4~MHz per sensor strip, and achieving high detection efficiency even under such hit-rate conditions is a key performance requirement. We have developed the smallest unit of the detector module, and its performance was evaluated using a muon beam at the J-PARC MLF H-line. The specifications of the detector module and the evaluated hit-rate capability are described in this article.

Precision measurements of muonium and muonic helium hyperfine structure at J-PARC

At the J-PARC Muon Science Facility (MUSE), the MuSEUM collaboration is now performing new precision measurements of the ground state hyperfine structure (HFS) of both muonium and muonic helium atoms. High-precision measurements of the muonium ground-state HFS are recognized as one of the most sensitive tools for testing bound-state quantum electrodynamics theory to precisely probe the standard model and determine fundamental constants of the positive muon magnetic moment and mass. The same technique can also be employed to measure muonic helium HFS, obtain the negative muon magnetic moment and mass, and test and improve the theory of the three-body atomic system. Measurements at zero magnetic field have already yielded more accurate results than previous experiments for both muonium and muonic helium atoms. High-field measurements are now ready to start collecting data using the world's most intense pulsed muon beam at the MUSE H-line. We aim to improve the precision of previous measurements ten times for muonium and a hundred times or more for muonic helium. We review all the key developments for these new measurements, focusing on the high-field experiment, and report the latest results and prospects.
