+  First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Yoshitaka
+  Kuno, for his great support and almost infinite patience in last four years.
+  I am also grateful to  all members of the Kuno group, Department of
+  Physics, Osaka University. Thanks to Akira Sato, Hideyuki Sakamoto for the
+  knowledge and supervision they have provided. And to Takahisa Itahashi
+  for the advice and allowing me to practice on his expensive silicon detectors.
+
+  The measurement described in this thesis is the product of effort of all
+  members of the AlCap Collaboration. Special thanks to Peter Kammel for
+  always pushing the experiment forward and your very helpful advices.
+  I enjoyed the stays at your group at University of Washington in Seattle
+  a lot. I would also like to thank the
+  fellow graduate students in the collaboration Andy, John, Ben, Damien for
+  all the hard work in the beam time, in the analysis phase, and also for
+  the beers. I wish you all success with your work.
+
+  Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends. Without your love and
+  support I wouldn't make it through these long years of graduate school.
