Abstract

Muon acceleration is a key technology for producing low-emittance muon beams over a wide energy range. Various acceleration schemes have been proposed for applications ranging from low-energy μSR and precision particle-physics measurements to neutrino factories and muon colliders. Experimental demonstrations of muon acceleration, however, have so far been limited. At J-PARC, a positive-muon accelerator based on the production and acceleration of ultraslow muons is being developed, and in 2024 the first RF acceleration of positive muons was demonstrated. In this review, we provide a brief overview of muon-acceleration methods and related experiments, and then review the acceleration method, current status, and future prospects at J-PARC.
