Muon Polarization in a Front-End Channel of a Neutrino Factory
نویسندگان
چکیده
As one of the figures of merit, muon polarization and its correlation to the particle arrival time was studied for the high intensity muon beam source of a Neutrino Factory. Muon polarization, 100% polarized in the parent pion rest system, was tracked down the pion capture, phase rotation, and ionization cooling channels, using the BMT equation. A study was done of the dependence of the muon polarization and its correlation on the configuration of induction linac channels in the phase rotation channel. Depolarization effects of the muon polarization through absorbers in the ionization cooling channel was simulated.

The 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 کاملMuon 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...

We present simulation work performed at CERN and collaborating institutes concerning the muon front-end of a neutrino factory and a possible muon cooling experiment. The front-end in the CERN scheme of a neutrino factory has been revised, eliminating the 44 MHz cavities and starting directly with 88 MHz. Two options for a muon cooling experiment have been studied, one based on the 88 MHz CERN 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...
متن کاملSearch for T-violation in Neutrino Oscillation with the Use of Muon Polarization at a Neutrino Factory
A possibility to search for T-violation in neutrino oscillation with the use of muon polarization is studied. The sensitivity to T-violation is examined with different muon polarization as a function of muon energy and long-baseline distances.
