2024 Society Award of the Society of Muon and Meson Science of Japan
Dr. HIGEMOTO Wataru of the Muon Section has been honored with the 2024 Society Award by the Society for Muon and Meson Science of Japan, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the advancement of meson science.
Dr. HIGEMOTO has long been engaged in material research using the muon spin rotation and relaxation (µSR) technique, particularly focusing on heavy Fermion superconductors.
He has also been actively involved in the development of µSR experimental techniques under extreme conditions such as ultra-low temperatures and high pressures. His award-winning research includes studies on the correlation between superconductivity and magnetism, as well as investigations of superconducting states that break time-reversal symmetry. These studies make full use of the high magnetic sensitivity of the µSR technique.
His work is expected to continue playing a vital role in elucidating the mechanisms behind various physical properties.
