Abstract
A new measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) and electric dipole moment (EDM) of the positive muon at J-PARC is proposed. In this experiment, we plan to use a radial vane silicon detector for detecting muon decay positrons. Specification and design study of the detector has been promoted. In order to determine detector parameters, we are developing simulation and positron track reconstruction tools. First version of those using Geant4 and Hough transform method in ideal condition was constructed. We are improving these tools close to real condition and the multi-track finding efficiency has been investigated. In this paper, we report the progress of the studies in simulation and track finding tools for the optimization of the detector parameters.
