Comprehensive studies of linear accelerators for muons in the medium velocity range

Abstract The muon linac has been developed at J-PARC to accelerate muons from thermal energy (25 meV) to 212 MeV using electrostatic extraction and four different types of radio-frequency cavities: RFQ, IH-DTL, DAW-CCL, and disk-loaded structures. Although some of the technologies employed were relatively novel, most proof-of-principle demonstrations have been successfully completed through prototype testing and actual production. Based on these experiences, it has become possible to propose a shorter or more efficient schematic design derived from the current design. In this poster, the new schematic design will be presented.
