Muon Polarimeter in a Neutrino Factory Decay Ring
نویسنده
چکیده
Monitoring the muon beam properties in the final stage of the Neutrino Factory (the Decay Ring) is important for the understanding of the beam itself and a crucial piece of information for the downstream physics. The main topics to be assessed are: knowledge of the muon beam energy and polarization, divergence of the beam and beam current. In the framework of the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) a racetrack model Decay Ring based on G4Beamline has been produced to simulate electrons from muon decays and the measurement of the beam energy distribution via the spin precession technique. The use of other codes, like Zgoubi, to generate a realistic beam including effects like spin polarization, are considered. A general discussion on future work is presented.

Recent Progress towards a Cost - Effective Neutrino Factory Design
A Neutrino Factory, sending > 10 20 decay neutrinos per year from a high-energy stored muon beam towards remote detectors, has been suggested as the ultimate tool for precision measurement of the neutrino mixing matrix. Following two rounds of design studies that focused primarily on feasibility, the latest such study has begun the process of cost optimization. New ideas include muon 'phase rot...
متن کاملNeutrino radiation hazard at the planned CERN neutrino factory
This note briefly discusses the radiation hazard which may be posed by the neutrino radiation generated in the decay of an intense 50 GeV muon beam circulating in the storage ring of a future Neutrino Factory. Of the various options which are being considered for the decay ring, for the present estimate the triangle-shaped one, with three arms of equal length, was taken into account. The neutri...
متن کاملFfag Lattice for Muon Acceleration with Distributed Rf*
A future muon collider or neutrino factory requires fast acceleration to minimize muon decay. We have previously described an FFAG ring that accelerated muons from 10 to 20 GeV in energy. The ring achieved its large momentum acceptance using a low-emittance lattice with a small dispersion. In this paper, we present an update on that ring. We have used design tools that more accurately represent...

Introduction The International scoping study of a future Neutrino Factory and Super-beam Facility (ISS) was established at NuFact 05 to survey the possibilities available for a future complex for precision neutrino physics to succeed the super beam experiments (T2K in Japan and Noνa in the USA) currently under construction. The possibilities centre around developments of the superbeam concept w...
متن کاملReview of the Neutrino Factory Muon Front End
Three major facilities have been proposed for the precision study of neutrino oscillation parameters, the Neutrino Factory, the Betabeam and the Superbeam. Of these, the Neutrino Factory offers high precision measurement of oscillation parameters [1]. The Neutrino Factory generates neutrinos by firing protons onto a target in order to produce pions. The pions decay to muons which are captured b...
