Comparison of muon flux measurements to Halo Monte Carlo predictions

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6894138· OSTI ID:6894138
Experiment E-782 has been approved to run during the next fixed target cycle in a fast-spill muon beam aimed at the Tohoku bubble chamber, located in Lab F. New construction is necessary to provide this beam. Initial feasibility tests were carried out during the last fixed target run, measuring both muon fluxes and background halo rates, as a function of several parameters. These test results are compared in detail with the predictions of the Monte Carlo program HALO, and can be used as a benchmark for design of the final beamline. 3 refs., 16 figs.
