MOA12 | The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment | ion, emittance, experiment, solenoid | 1 |
|
|||
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is designed to demonstrate a measurable reduction in muon beam emittance due to ionization cooling. This demonstration will be an important step in establishing the feasibility of muon accelerators for particle physics. The emittance of a variety of muon beams is measured before and after a "cooling cell", allowing the change in the phase-space distribution due to the presence of an absorber to be measured. Two solenoid spectrometers are instrumented with high-precision scintillating-fibre tracking detectors (Trackers) before and after the cooling cell which measure the normalized emittance reduction. Data has been taken since the end of 2015 to study several beams of varying momentum and input emittance as well as three absorber materials in the cooling cell, over a range of optics. The experiment and an overview of the analyses are described here. | |||

MOA22 | Recent Results from MICE on Multiple Coulomb Scattering and Energy Loss | ion, simulation, experiment, emittance | 16 |
|

Funding: STFC, DOE, NSF, INFN, CHIPP etc Multiple coulomb scattering and energy loss are well known phenomena experienced by charged particles as they traverse a material. However, from recent measurements by the MuScat collaboration, it is known that the available simulation codes (GEANT4, for example) overestimate the scattering of muons in low Z materials. This is of particular interest to the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) collaboration which has the goal of measuring the reduction of the emittance of a muon beam induced by energy loss in low Z absorbers. MICE took data without magnetic field suitable for multiple scattering measurements in the fall of 2015 with the absorber vessel filled with Xenon and in the spring of 2016 using a lithium hydride absorber. The scattering data are compared with the predictions of various models, including the default GEANT4 model. In the fall of 2016 MICE took data with magnetic fields on and measured the energy loss of muons in a lithium hydride absorber. These data are also compared with model predictions and with the Bethe-Bloch formula. Submitted by the MICE speakers bureau. If accepted, a member of the collaboration will be selected to present the contribution |

TUP14 | Investigation on the Suppression of Intrabeam Scattering in the High Intensity Heavy Ion Beam with the help of Longitudinal Multi-bunch Chain of Electron | ion, electron, storage-ring, experiment | 58 |
|
|||
Intrabeam scattering is the main reason of degradation of the beam brightness and shortening of brightness lifetime in the collider, light source and storage ring. The intrabeam scattering presents dissimilar influence in the different facilities. Electron cooling was chose to suppress the effect of intrabeam scattering, another unexpected effect happened during the cooling. The distribution of ion beam quickly deviates from the initial Gaussian type, form a denser core and long tail. The ions standing in the tail of beam will loss soon due to large amplitude. This solution will focus on the investigation on the suppression of intrabeam scattering in the high intensity heavy ion beam in the storage ring with the help of longitudinally modulated electron beam. The stronger cooling was expected in the tail of ion beam and the weaker cooling was performed in the tail of ion beam. The particle in the outside will experience stronger cooling and will be driven back into the centre of ion beam. The ion loss will be decreased and the lifetime will be increased. The intensity of ion beam in the storage ring will be kept and maintain for long time. | |||
