Idr Neutrino Factory Front End and Variations*
نویسنده
چکیده
The (International Design Report) IDR neutrino factory scenario for capture, bunching, phase-energy rotation and initial cooling of ’s produced from a proton source target is explored. It requires a drift section from the target, a bunching section and a -E rotation section leading into the cooling channel. Optimization and variations are discussed. Important concerns are rf limitations within the focusing magnetic fields and large losses in the transport.

Polarization Effects in the Front End of the Neutrino Factory
We summarize the methods used for simulation of polarization effects in the front end of a possible neutrino factory. We first discuss the helicity of muons in the pion decay process. We find that, neglecting acceptance considerations, the average helicity asymptotically approaches a magnitude of 0.185 at large pion momenta. Next we describe the methods used for tracking the spin through the co...

متن کاملThe International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory
The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (the IDS-NF) has recently completed the Interim Design Report (IDR) for the facility as a step on the way to the Reference Design Report (RDR). The IDR has two functions: it marks the point in the IDS-NF at which the emphasis turns to the engineering studies required to deliver the RDR and it documents the present baseline design for the f...
متن کاملThe Muon Front End for the Neutrino Factory
In the Neutrino Factory, muons are produced by firing high energy protons onto a target to produce pions. The pions decay to muons and pass through a capture channel known as the muon front end, before acceleration to 12.6 GeV. The muon front end comprises a variable frequency RF system for longitudinal capture and an ionisation cooling channel. In this paper we detail recent improvements in th...
متن کاملHadron Physics at a Neutrino Factory
We review the way intense neutrino beams at the front–end of a muon storage ring can be used to probe the structure of hadrons. Specifically, we discuss how the polarized and unpolarized flavor structure of the nucleon can be disentangled in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, and how less inclusive measurements can shed light on various aspects of hadron structure such as fragmentation functi...
