EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH CERN SL DIVISION CERN SL-2001-069 EET The Neutron Time of Flight Facilty at CERN
The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a high flux neutron source obtained by the spallation of 20 GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The proton beam beam is delivered by the Proton Synchrotron (PS) at CERN capable of providing up to four sharp bunches (6 ns) with an intensity of 7 10^ 12 protons per bunch within a 14.4s supercycle. The outstanding characteristics of this f...

The CNGS project was approved by CERN Council in December 1999. This report gives a short description of the νμ beam to be built at CERN in the direction of the INFN Gran Sasso underground laboratory (LNGS). The first goal of this new facility is the production of sufficient νμ in an energy region optimised for the detection of an adequate number of ντ produced by oscillation at LNGS. The layou...

In this paper we discuss longitudinal beam coupling impedance measurements performed with the coaxial wire method on a modified prototype of the SPS MKE kicker. The frequency dependent real and imaginary part of the distributed coupling impedance are obtained from the measured S-parameters by standard and improved log-formulae. A comparison with theoretical models and previous measurements is d...

Computer simulations for the CERN muon storage ring confirm the absence of beam-induced multipacting. Thus electron-cloud build up along the bunch train is not expected to be a problem. Geneva, Switzerland January 5, 2001 We first describe a few basic considerations on electron-cloud build up, scaling from the LHC, and then report simulation results. Table 1 lists relevant parameters for the CE...

A new measurement has been made of the rate of pair{production in a 3.2 mm thick tungsten crystal, exposed to photons with energies in the range 10 to 150 GeV, for angles of incidence up to 10 mrad from the crystal axis. A strong enhancement of the pair{production rate is observed when the beam is aligned along the <100> crystal axis, as compared to a random orientation. This e ect can be explo...
