The Neutrino Factory baseline design involves a complex chain of accelerators including a single-pass linac, two recirculating linacs and an FFAG. The first linac follows the capture and bunching section and accelerates the muons from about 244 to 900 MeV. It must accept a high emittance beam about 30 cm wide with a 10% energy spread. This linac uses counterwound, shielded superconducting solenoids and 201 MHz superconducting cavities. Simulations have been carried out using several codes including Zgoubi, OptiM, GPT, and G4beamline, both to determine the optics and to estimate the radiation loads on the elements due to beam loss and muon decay.

  Next generation magnet systems needed for cooling channels in both neutrino factories and muon colliders will be innovative and complicated. Designing, simulating and optimizing these systems is a challenge. Using COSY INFINITY, a differential algebra-based code, to simulate complicated elements can allow the computation and correction of a variety of higher order effects, such as spherical and chromatic aberrations, that are difficult to address with other simulation tools. As an example, a helical dipole magnet has been implemented and simulated, and the performance of an epicyclic parametric ionization cooling system for muons is studied and compared to simulations made using G4Beamline, a GEANT4 toolkit.

Recirculating Linear Accelerators (RLA) are an efficient way of accelerating short-lived muons to multi-GeV energies required for Neutrino Factories and TeV energies required for Muon Colliders. To reduce the number of required return arcs, we employ a Non-Scaling Fixed-Field Alternating-Gradient (NS-FFAG) arc lattice design. We present a complete linear optics design of a muon RLA with two-pass linear NS-FFAG droplet return arcs. The arcs are composed of symmetric cells with each cell designed using combined function magnets with dipole and quadrupole magnetic field components so that the cell is achromatic and has zero initial and final periodic orbit offsets for both passes’ energies. Matching to the linac is accomplished by adjusting linac quadrupole strengths so that the linac optics on each pass is matched to the arc optics. We adjust the difference of the path lengths and therefore of the times of flight of the two momenta in each arc to ensure proper synchronization with the linac. We investigate the dynamic aperture and momentum acceptance of the arcs.

An electron-ion collider (MEIC) is envisioned as the primary future of the JLab nuclear science program beyond the 12 GeV upgraded CEBAF. The present MEIC design selects a ring-ring collider option and covers a CM energy range up to 51 GeV for both polarized light ions and un-polarized heavy ions, while higher CM energies could be reached by a future upgrade. The MEIC stored colliding ion beams, which will be generated, accumulated and accelerated in a green field ion complex, are designed to match the stored electron beam injected at full energy from the CEBAF in terms of emittance, bunch length, charge and repetition frequency. This design strategy ensures a high luminosity above 1034 s−1cm-2. A unique figure-8 shape collider ring is adopted for advantages of preserving ion polarization during acceleration and accommodation of a polarized deuteron beam for collisions. Our recent effort has been focused on completing this conceptual design as well as design optimization of major components. Significant progress has also been made in accelerator R&D including chromatic correction and dynamical aperture, beam-beam, high energy electron cooling and polarization tracking.
