TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT
Developed an all-in-one positron detector system named Kalliope, which may be
used in general pulse timing measurements with nano-second resolution in
thousands of independent detector channels.
Constructed two general-purpose bulk-µSR spectrometers (S1-ARTEMIS and
D1-Spectrometer), one ultra-slow µSR spectrometer for thin film measurement and
one high-magnetic field µSR spectrometer (5 Tesla-CYCLOPS), employing
Kalliope detectors.
Developed an automated measurement system and data archiver for user
experiments performed at the J-PARC muon facility.
