MOP021 | The MICE Muon Beamline and Induced Host Accelerator Beam Loss | 148 |
|
||
Funding: Science and Technology Facilities Council The international Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) is designed to provide a proof of principle of ionisation cooling to reduce the muon beam phase space at a future Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider. The MICE Muon Beam is generated by the decay of pions produced by dipping a cylindrical titanium target into the proton beam of the 800 MeV ISIS synchrotron at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, U.K. Studies of the particle rate in the MICE Muon Beamline and its relationship to induced beam loss in ISIS are presented, using data taken in Summer 2010. Using time-of-flight to perform particle identification estimates of muon rates are presented and related to induced beam loss. |

Funding: NSF The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will test transverse cooling of a muon beam, satisfying a crucial demonstration step along the path toward creating high intensity muon beams in a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. In the last year, MICE has taken a record amount of data to commission the beamline and calibrate the particle identification (PID) detectors. Studies of the MICE beamline and target timing will be discussed, including the use of Time-of-Flight (TOF) detectors to understand the MICE beam content. |
