YALE STUDY ON HIGH INTENSITY PROTON ACCELERATORS. A PROGRESS REPORT ON THE DESIGN OF A VERY HIGH INTENSITY LINEAR ACCELERATOR FOR PROTONS AT AN ENERGY OF 750 Mev. Internal Report Y-6
The design of a very high intensity proton linear accelerator and its associated facilities, that together form a complete meson factory is discussed. The accelerator will deliver a 1 ma (average) primary proton beam at an energy that is variable from 200 to 750 Mev. Polarized protons can also be accelerated. The intense primary proton beam, that can be fully extracted from the accelerator, will produce intense well-defined secondary beams of pions, muons, neutrons, and neutrinos. These secondary beams will be separated from the proton beam and transported to various experimental areas where adequate shielding, both flexible and fixed, is provided. The sections of the report outline the justification, establish the feasibility, and estimate the cost of the installation. Tentative characteristics of the accelerator and the beams are presented, as are a number of studies that can be made with the assembly. 72 references. (auth)
