Title: Accelerator performance analysis of the Fermilab Muon Campus

Abstract

Fermilab is dedicated to hosting world-class experiments in search of new physics that will operate in the coming years. The Muon g-2 Experiment is one such experiment that will determine with unprecedented precision the muon anomalous magnetic moment, which offers an important test of the Standard Model. We describe in this study the accelerator facility that will deliver a muon beam to this experiment. We first present the lattice design that allows for efficient capture, transport, and delivery of polarized muon beams. We then numerically examine its performance by simulating pion production in the target, muon collection by the downstream beam line optics, as well as transport of muon polarization. In conclusion, we finally establish the conditions required for the safe removal of unwanted secondary particles that minimizes contamination of the final beam.

Measurement and Analysis of Beam Phase-Space Distributions for the Fermilab Muon Campus Accelerator Complex

Conference Ramirez, A. ; Stratakis, D.

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab is tasked with measuring the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment with high precision. Since the experiment requires large amounts of muons, it is imperative to systematically study the behavior of the beam along the transport line. Unfortunately, the available diagnostics only provide beam information in X-Y space. For a complete evaluation, information of the phase-space is required. This paper demonstrates a technique to measure the beam phase-direction distribution by using a set of beam profiles. First, we establish the theoretical framework that describes the principle of the technique. Next, we apply the technique at fourmore »« less

Muon Campus at Fermilab

Conference Ganguly, S.

The Muon Campus at Fermilab provides world class accelerator infrastructure supporting the next generation intensity frontier experiments. The anti-proton source from the Tevatron era was converted to the present day Muon Campus at the end of the collider program in 2011. Currently, the Muon Campus delivers highly polarized muon beams to the Muon g-2 experiment and in a few years, it will provide muon beams to the Mu2e experiment. The Muon g-2 experiment is a high precision test of the standard model; it is precise enough to measure QED, Weak, and QCD Standard Model contributions.The Muon g-2 experiment looks for a significant deviation from the Standard Model whereas the Mu2e experiment looks for rare processes using high intensity muon beams. The Muon g-2 experiment has measured the anomalous magnetic moment of muons to an unprecedented 460 ppb precision with Run 1 data. The experiment has completed 5 runs, accumulating 19more »« less

Phase-Space Analysis using Tomography for the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab

Conference Stratakis, D.

In the next decade the Fermilab Muon Campus will host two world class experiments dedicated to the search for signals of new physics. The Muon g-2 experiment will determine with unprecedented precision the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The Mu2e experiment will improve by four orders of magnitude the sensitivity on the search for the as-yet unobserved Charged Lepton Flavor Violation process of a neutrinoless conversion of a muon to an electron. Maintaining and preserving a high density of particles in phase-space is an important requirement for both experiments. This paper presents a new experimental method for mapping themore »« less

Dynamical simulations of the Muon Campus at Fermilab

Journal Article Tarazona, D. A. ; Berz, M. ; Makino, K. ; ... - International Journal of Modern Physics A

The Muon Campus at Fermilab is a system through which muons are delivered to the storage ring of the Muon [Formula: see text] Experiment (E989). It consists of a set of 1 km beamlines that transport and prepare a highly polarized muon beam out of secondaries produced downstream a target station. Realistic simulations of this beam delivery system (BDS) using COSY INFINITY, and presented here, contribute to the understanding and characterization of the muon beam production in relation to the statistical and systematic uncertainties of the E989 measurement, intended to be smaller than 0.14 parts per million to achieve the goalsmore »« less

Instrumentation and its Interaction with the Secondary Beam for the Fermilab Muon Campus

Conference Stratakis, D. ; Drendel, Brian ; Syphers, Michael

The Fermilab Muon Campus will host the Muon g-2 experiment - a world class experiment dedicated to the search for signals of new physics. Strict demands are placed on the beam diagnostics in order to ensure delivery of high quality beams to the storage ring with minimal losses. In this study, we briefly describe the available secondary beam diagnostics for the Fermilab Muon Campus. Then, with the aid of numerical simulations we detail their interaction with the secondary beam. Finally, we compare our results against theoretical findings.
