Double Field Flip Cooling Channel for the Neutrino Factory
نویسنده
چکیده
A 220 m long ionization cooling system consisting of three solenoids with two field-flip sections, is proposed as a cooling channel for the neutrino factory. The reduction of transverse emittance is achieved using 87 liquid hydrogen absorbers (30-40 cm long), and 87 (2 m long) 200 MHz linacs. The first flip is performed at relatively small magnetic field, B = 3 T, to keep the longitudinal motion under control. The field is then increased adiabatically up to 7 T and a second field flip performed. The cooler was studied and simulated in detail. Preceded by a 16 GeV proton driver, a carbon target, a mini-cooler and a buncher, the system provides about 0.082 muons per incident proton.

Muon 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 f~st 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 com...
متن کاملBeam Dynamics in an Ionisation Cooling Channel
The Neutrino Factory has been proposed as a facility to provide an intense source of neutrinos suitable for the measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters and a possible CP violating phase to unprecedented precision. In the Neutrino Factory, neutrinos are produced by the decay of a muon beam with 20-50 GeV per muon. Initially, the muon beam occupies a large volume in phase space, which must...
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 کاملAn Emittance Diagnostic Channel for R&D on the Front End of a Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory
Using the analytic estimates developed for the emittance diagnostic channel for the finalstage cooling experiment, we conclude that diagnostics for both an initial-stage cooling experiment, and for the targetry experiment could be performed with a bent solenoid of 1.25 T field strength. The solenoid bore would need to be at least 35 cm for the initial-stage cooling experiment, and at least 50 c...
متن کاملMagnet Misalignment Studies for the Front-end of the Neutrino Factory
In the Neutrino Factory front-end the muon beam coming from the interaction of a high-power (4 MW) proton beam on a mercury jet target, is transformed through a buncher, a phase rotator and an ionization cooling channel before entering the downstream acceleration system. The muon front-end channel is densely packed with solenoid magnets, normal conducting radio-frequency cavities and absorber w...
