Large Acceptance Muon Storage Rings for Neutrino Production: Lattice Design
نویسنده
چکیده
The possibility of achieving the high muon fluxes suggested in recent work on muon colliders has revived interest in the idea of using muon storage rings for neutrino production. Through proper design of the lattice, a significant fraction of the stored muons can be converted into an intense, low-divergence beam of neutrinos. This work examines the incorporation of a long, high-beta straight section for production of neutrino beams into a lattice which is otherwise optimized for transverse and longitudinal admittance. (The ring must be able to accept a very large emittance and large momentum spread muon beam.)

The Potential for Neutrino Physics at Muon Colliders and Dedicated High Current Muon Storage Rings
Conceptual design studies are underway for muon colliders and other high-current muon storage rings that have the potential to become the first true “neutrino factories”. Muon decays in long straight sections of the storage rings would produce precisely characterized beams of electron and muon type neutrinos of unprecedented intensity. This article reviews prospects the for these facilities to ...
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...

متن کامل1 . 1 Neutrino Factory Studies
The neutrino is, perhaps, the most mysterious of the particles that make up the Standard Model. It has long been known that neutrinos carry spin 1⁄2 and occur in three flavours: νe, νμ, and ντ. One of the most exciting developments in particle physics over the past decade has been the establishment of the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations in which neutrinos produced in a particular state of f...
