Abstract: (AIP)
The Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) is currently under construction at J-PARC in Tokai, Japan. The muon section of the facility will house the muon production target and four secondary beam lines used to transport the muons into two exper imental halls. Currently, one of the four beam lines (the Decay beam line) has been completed and is operational. The beam line currently under construction is the large acceptance beam line (the so called Super-Omega beam line) which, when completed, wil l produce the highest intensity pulsed muon beam in the world. The expected rate of surface muons for this beam line is 4 x 108 micro+/s, and a cloud muon rate of 107 micro < /s. The beam line consists of the normal-conducting capture solenoids, the super conducting curved transport solenoids, and an axial focusing magnet. The capture solenoids have been fabricated and installed on the beam line, while the transport solenoids are under design, with initial prototype coils under fabrication.- 11.30.Hv
