A Solenoid Capture System for a Muon Collider
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept for a muon-production system for a muon collider or neutrino factory calls for an intense 4-MW-class proton beam impinging upon a free-flowing mercury jet immersed in a 20-T solenoid field. This system is challenging in many aspects, including magnetohydrodynamics of the mercury jet subject to disruption by the proton beam, strong intermagnetic forces, and the intense thermal loads and substantial radiation damage to the magnet coils due to secondary particles from the target. Studies of these issues are ongoing, with a sketch of their present status given here.

A 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 کاملMagnet 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 کاملA Solenoidal Capture System For Neutrino Production
This paper describes the use of a high field solenoidal magnet to capture secondary pions from the production target. The captured pions subsequentially decay to produce the neutrino beam. A pion capture system using a high field solenoid magnet has been proposed for the muon collider[1]. This technology would also be available for neutrino beam production. It will be shown that a high field so...

Figure 1 gives an overview of the configuration for production of pions by a proton beam impinging on a long, thin target, followed by capture of low-momentum, forward pions in a channel of solenoid magnets with rf cavities to compress the bunch energy while letting the bunch length grow, thus rotating the bunch in phase space. This configuration was conceived for a muon collider [2, 3] with a ...
متن کاملSome Options for the Muon Collider Capture and Decay Solenoids
This report discusses some of the problems associated with using solenoid magnets to capture the secondary particles that are created when an intense beam of 8 to 10 GeV protons interacts with the target at the center of the capture region. Hybrid capture solenoids with inductions of 28 T and a 22T are described. The first 14 to 15 T of the solenoid induction will be generated by a superconduct...
