Energy Deposition in the Target System of a Muon Collider/neutrino Factory∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Much of the energy of the primary proton beam of Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory would be deposited in the superconducting coils that provide a solenoid-magnet transport channel for secondary particles, unless those coils are protected by massive internal shielding. Studies are reported of energy deposition in such shielding, with the goal of permitting 10 years operational life at 4-MW beam power. The graphite target should be able to withstand the “thermal shock” induced by the pulsed beam; further study is needed to confirm this.

Magnet Design for the Target System of a Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory
The Target System and Pion Decay Channel for a Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory utilizes a string of solenoid magnets to capture and transport the low-energy pions whose decay provides the desired muon beams. The magnetic field strength at the target is 15-20 T, “tapering” down to 1.5-3 T in the Decay Channel. The superconducting coils which produce these fields must have substantial inner radius...
متن کاملMuon Collider / Neutrino Factory : Status and Prospects ⋆ Daniel
During the 1990s an international collaboration has been studying the possibility of constructing and operating a high-energy high-luminosity μ+μ− collider. Such a machine could be the approach of choice to extend our discovery reach beyond that of the LHC. More recently, a growing collaboration is exploring the potential of a stored-muon-beam “neutrino factory” to elucidate neutrino oscillatio...
متن کاملA Pion Production and Capture System for a 4 Mw Target Station
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 i...
متن کاملA 4-mw Target Station for a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory
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 کاملThe Neutrino Factory
This talk will present arguments that the Neutrino Factory an extremely intense source of flavor-tagged neutrinos from muon decays in a storage ring gives the best physics reach for CP violation, as well as virtually all parameters in the neutrino oscillation parameter space. It will describe the physics capabilities of a baseline Neutrino Factory as compared to other possible future facilities...
