Numerical study of a magnetically insulated front-end channel for a neutrino factory

Journal Article Stratakis, D ; Fernow, R ; Gallardo, J ; ... - Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams

A neutrino factory, which can deliver an intense flux of {approx}10{sup 21} neutrinos per year from a multi-GeV stored muon beam, is seemingly the ideal tool for studying neutrino oscillations and CP violations for leptons. The front end of this facility plays a critical role in determining the number of muons that can be accepted by the downstream accelerators. Delivering peak performance requires transporting the muon beams through long sections of a beam channel containing high-gradient rf cavities and strong focusing solenoids. Here, we propose a novel scheme to improve the performance of the cavities, thereby increasing the number ofmore »« less

Magnet Misalignment Studies for the Front-end of the Neutrino Factory

Conference Prior, G. ; Efthymiopoulos, I. ; Stratakis, D. ; ...

In the Neutrino Factory front-end the muon beam coming from the interaction of a high-power (4 MW) proton beam on a mercury jet target is transformed through a buncher, a phase rotator and an ionization cooling channel before entering the downstream acceleration system. The muon front-end channel is densely packed with solenoid magnets, normal conducting radio-frequency cavities and absorber windows for the cooling section. The tolerance to the misalignment of the different components has to be determined in order on one hand to set the limits beyond which the performance of the front-end channel would be degraded; on the othermore »« less

MUON POLARIZATION IN A FRONT-END CHANNEL OF A NEUTRINO FACTORY.

Conference FUKUI, Y ; FERNOW, R C ; GALLARDO, J C

As one of the figures of merit, muon polarization and its correlation to the particle arrival time was studied for the high intensity muon beam source of a Neutrino Factory. Muon polarization, 100% polarized in the parent pion rest system, was tracked down the pion capture, phase rotation, and ionization cooling channels, using the BMT equation. A study was done of the dependence of the muon polarization and its correlation on the configuration of induction linac channels in the phase rotation channel. Depolarization effects of the muon polarization through absorbers in the ionization cooling channel was simulated.

SOLENOID MAGNETS FOR THE FRONT END OF A NEUTRINO FACTORY.

Conference GREEN, M A ; YU, S S ; MILLER, J R ; ...

This report describes the solenoid magnets in the front end (the section between the pion capture solenoid and the linear acceleration section) of the Level 2 study of a neutrino factory. The magnets described in the report start with the decay channel magnets that starts 18 meter downstream from the start of the pion production target. The magnet string ends with the transition solenoids that match the muon beam from the last cooling cell to the superconducting linear accelerator section. All of the magnets described in this report are solenoids. The field on axis in the solenoidal channel ranges frommore »« less

Studies of the front end of a neutrino factory

Conference Fawley, William ; Penn, Gregory ; Sessler, Andrew ; ...

A neutrino factory employs muons which are produced, collected, cooled, accelerated and then stored so that their eventual decay produces an intense neutrino beam. A general description may be found in the paper by Geer [S. Geer, Phys. Rev. D, 57, 1 (1998)], and two upcoming Comments on Nuclear and Particle Physics articles [S. Geer, ''Future prospects for muon facilities'', see http://www-mucool.fnal.gov/mcnotes/muc0154.ps; also A. M. Sessler, ''Neutrino Factories: The Facility'', http://www-mucool.fnal.gov/mcnotes/muc0155.pdf]. In this contribution, we use analytic and numerical tools to investigate the performance of the front end of a neutrino factory. This region starts just after the target andmore »« less
