Using Project X as a Proton Driver for Muon Colliders and Neutrino Factories

Conference · · Conf.Proc.C
OSTI ID:1967395
The designs of accelerator systems that will be needed to transform Fermilab's Project X [1-3] into a high-power proton driver for a muon collider and/or a neutrino factory are discussed. These applications require several megawatts of beam power delivered in tens or hundreds of short multi-GeV bunches per second, respectively. Project X may require a linac extension to higher energy for this purpose. Other major subsystems that are likely to be needed include storage rings to accumulate and shorten the proton bunches and an external beam combiner to deliver multiple bunches simultaneously to the pion production target.
