Phase-Space Analysis using Tomography for the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab
- Fermilab
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 the transverse phase space of a particle beam based on tomographic principles. We simulate our technique using a GEANT4 based tracking code, to ascertain accuracy of the reconstruction. Then we apply the technique to a series of proof-of-principle simulation tests to study injection and transport of muon beams for the Fermilab Muon Campus.
