Two electrostatic septa (ESS) are being designed for the slow extraction of 8 GeV proton beam for the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab. Special attention is given to the high voltage feedthrough (HVF), which energizes the cathode creating the bending field. The FC-40 dielectric fluid, surrounding the HV cable breaks down from radiation exposure, which reduces its insulating capabilities. The new HVF design focuses on effective replacement of the exposed fluid and eliminating the stagnant areas of low exchange rate. A preliminary test using a fully transparent prototype HVF and water was conducted to understand the volumetric exchange rate of the high radiation region. Here we discuss the results of these tests and further studies using the FC-40.

  The efficiency of slow extraction is becoming a limiting factor, as the demand for delivered beam power is constantly growing. New methods for improving extraction efficiency include folding the extraction separatrix using the higher multipoles. In this report we discuss a simple and effective approach to determine an optimal placement of those multipoles in the storage ring. This allows reduction of the beam losses and therefore, the level of prompt and residual radioactivity in the accelerator components and surrounding buildings by as much as 40% or more. We also explore here manipulating the higher order effects produced in the pure sextupole configurations for the same purpose and demonstrate that similar results can be achieved by only rearranging the sextupole magnets in the lattice.
