A Pion Production and Capture System for a 4 Mw Target Station
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study of a pion production and capture system for a 4 MW target station for a neutrino factory or muon collider is presented. Using the MARS code [1], we simulate the pion production produced by the interaction of a free liquid mercury jet with an intense proton beam. We study the variation of meson production with the direction of the proton beam relative to the target. We also examine the influence on the meson production by the focusing of the proton beam. The energy deposition in the capture system is determined and the shielding required in order to avoid radiation damage is discussed.

A 4-mw Target Station for a Muon Colldier
We describe a concept for a target station surrounding a pion production/capture system capable of accepting a 4-MW proton beam. The target system consists of a free mercury jet immersed in a high-field solenoid magnet capture system. The shielding required for the protection of the superconducting solenoid coils is a major consideration. Additional infrastructure required for the target system...

We outline a program of engineering design and simulation for a target station and pion production/capture system for a 4-MW proton beam at the front end of a Muon Collider or a Neutrino Factory. The target system consists of a free liquid-metal (nominally mercury) jet immersed in a high-field solenoid magnet capture system that also incorporates the proton beam dump. Topics to be studied inclu...

متن کاملRotating Metal Band Target for Pion Production at Muon Colliders and Neutrino Factories
A conceptual design is presented for a high power pion production target for muon colliders that is based on a rotating metal band. Three candidate materials are considered for the target band: Inconel alloy 718, titanium alloy 6Al-4V (grade 5) and nickel. A pulsed proton beam tangentially intercepts a chord of the target band that is inside a 20 tesla tapered solenoidal magnetic pion capture c...
