| TUPFI049 | Studies of 10 GeV Decay Ring Design for the International Design Study of the Neutrino Factory | 1457 |
|
||
| Due to the discovery of large θ13 the final muon storage energy in the baseline solution of International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) has been set at 10 GeV. A new racetrack design has been produced for the decay ring to meet this requirement. The details of lattice design and the beam dynamics calculations are discussed. The feasibility of the injection system for both positive and negative muons into the ring is explored in details. | ||
| TUPFI074 | Design of the Final Focus of the Proton Beam for a Neutrino Factory | 1517 |
|
||
| The ~ 8-GeV, 4-MW proton beam that drives a Neutrino Factory has a nominal 50-Hz macropulse structure with 2-3 micropulses ~ 100 ns apart. The nominal geometric beam emittance is 5 micron, and the desired rms beam radius at the liquid-metal-jet target is 1.2 mm. A quadrupole-triplet focusing system to deliver this beam spot is described. | ||

Funding: This work is funded by US Dept. of Energy grant numbers DE AC02-98CH10886 An ionization cooling channel is a tightly spaced lattice containing absorbers for reducing the momentum of the muon beam, rf cavities for restoring the momentum and strong solenoids for focusing the beam. Such a lattice is an essential feature of most designs for Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders. Here, we explore three different approaches for designing ionization cooling channels with periodic solenoidal focusing. Key parameters such as the engineering constraints that are arising from the length and separation between the solenoidal coils are systematically examined. In addition, we propose novel approaches for reducing the peak magnetic field inside the rf cavities by using either a magnetic shield system or a bucked coils configuration. Our lattice designs are numerically examined against two independent codes: The ICOOL and G4BL code. The feasibility of our proposed cooling channels to muon accelerators is examined by applying the proposed lattices to the front-end of a Neutrino Factory. |

| TUPWO054 | Recent Results from the EMMA Experiment | 1988 |
|
||
| EMMA (Electron Model for Many Applications) is a prototype non-scaling electron FFAG hosted at Daresbury Laboratory. After a recent demonstration of acceleration in the serpentine channel, the injected EMMA beam was further studied. This entails the continuation of the exploration of the large transverse and longitudinal acceptance and the effects of slower integer tune crossing on the betatron amplitude. A single closed orbit correction that is effective at multiple momenta (and hence over a significant range in tune space) was implemented. A comparison with a detailed model based on measured field maps, and the experimental mapping of the machine by relating the initial and final phase space coordinates was also done. These recent results together with more practical improvements such as injection orbit matching with real-time monitoring of the coordinates in the transverse phase space will be reported in this paper. | ||
| TUPWO055 | Phase Rotation Experiment at EMMA for testing Applicability of a Non-scaling FFAG for PRISM System | 1991 |
|
||
| EMMA is the world’s first non-scaling FFAG, based at Daresbury Laboratory. EMMA has a very large acceptance and has demonstrated acceleration in the serpentine channel. PRISM (Phase Rotated Intense Slow Muon source) is a next generation muon to electron conversion experiment aiming to obtain intense quasi-monochromatic low energy muon beams by performing RF phase rotation in an FFAG ring. Current baseline design for PRISM applies the scaling FFAG ring, but an alternative machine could be based on a ns-FFAG principle. As the transverse-longitudinal coupling is present in ns-FFAGs due to a natural chromaticity, its effect on the final energy spread and beam quality needs to be tested. In order to gauge the expected results, an experiment was designed to be performed on EMMA. We report here the details of this experiment and the results gathered from EMMA operation. | ||
| WEPFI066 | The RF System for the MICE Experiment | 2848 |
|
||
| The International Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) is designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of ionisation cooling to reduce the phase space footprint of a muon beam, principally to allow the subsequent acceleration of muons for next generation colliders and/or neutrino factories. The experiment (and indeed any subsequent accelerator cooling channel based on the same principles) poses certain unusual requirements on its RF system, whilst the precision measurement of the ionisation cooling process demands special diagnostics. This paper shall outline the key features of the RF system, including the LLRF control, the power amplifier chain, distribution network, cavities, tuners and couplers, all of which must operate in a high magnetic field environment. The RF diagnostics which, in conjunction with the other MICE diagnostics, shall allow detailed knowledge of the amplitude and phase of the acceleration field during the transit of each individual Muon shall also be outlined. | ||

| WEPEA073 | A 180 MeV Injection Upgrade Design for the ISIS Synchrotron | 2678 |
|
||
| ISIS is the spallation neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. Obsolescence and reliability issues are motivating plans to replace the present 70 MeV H minus linac, and this paper presents an overview of a design to allow injection of beam into the present ISIS ring at 180 MeV, which would increase intensity as a result of reduced space charge and optimised injection. The key topics addressed are design of the injection straight, injection painting and dynamics, foil specifications, acceleration dynamics, transverse space charge, instabilities, RF beam loading and activation. | ||
