Title: Dynamical simulations of the Muon Campus at Fermilab

Abstract

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 goals of the experiment. The impact of nonlinearities from fringe fields and high-order contributions on the BDS performance are presented, as well as detailed studies of the interactions between secondaries and the beamline elements apertures, particle decay channels, spin dynamics and beamline misalignments.

Realistic Modeling of the Muon g-2 Experiment Beamlines at Fermilab

Conference Tarazona, David ; Berz, Martin ; Makino, Kyoko ; ...

The main goal of the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab (E989) is to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment (a, also dubbed as the "anomaly’’) to unprecedented precision. This new measurement will allow to test the completeness of the Standard Model (SM) and to validate other theoretical models beyond the SM. Simulations of the beamlines from the pion production target to the entrance of the g-2 Storage Ring using COSY INFINITY contribute to the understanding and characterization of the muon beam production in relation to the statistical and systematics uncertainties of the E989 measurement.

Commissioning and first results of the Fermilab Muon Campus

Journal Article Stratakis, Diktys ; Drendel, Brian ; Morgan, James P. ; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

In the following years, the Fermilab Muon Campus will deliver highly polarized muon beams to the Muon g–2 experiment. The Muon Campus contains a target section wherein secondaries are produced, the delivery ring which separates the muons from the rest of the beam, and a sequence of beam lines that transports them to the Muon g–2 storage ring. Here, we report the first results of beam measurements at the Muon Campus with an emphasis on the key achievements that have contributed to the successful beam delivery to the Muon g–2 experiment. These achievements include the production of an intense secondarymore »« less

In the following years the Fermilab Muon Campus will deliver highly polarized muon beams to the storage ring of the Muon g-2 Experiment. The Muon Campus contains a target section wherein secondaries are produced, the Delivery Ring which separates the muons from the rest of the beam and a straight section that transports them to the storage ring. Here, we report the first experimental results and experience gained from commissioning the Muon Campus, including the interaction of the proton beam with the target, the transport of secondary beam over long sections, the monitoring of muons from the available diagnostics andmore »« less

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

Conference Stratakis, D. ; Drendel, B. ; Syphers, M. J.

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 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.

Muon loss rates from betatron resonances at the Muon g – 2 Storage Ring at Fermilab

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

The Muon g–2 Experiment at Fermilab (E989) is directed toward measuring the muon magnetic anomaly, a_μ = (g–2)/2, with total statistical and systematic errors of 0.14 ppm. Here, this new measurement will serve as strong probe of effects of as yet undiscovered particles beyond the Standard Model (SM), and perhaps validate or disprove other theoretical models beyond the SM. Of special interest is the reduction of muon losses from the storage ring to achieve the precision needed at the Muon g–2 Experiment.
