EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH CERN/PS 2001-059(PP) CERN-NUFACT Note 092 Simulation of the Pion Decay Channel of a Neutrino Factory
نویسنده
چکیده
In the pion decay channel of a neutrino factory the particles are transported in a solenoidal magnetic field, a 1.8 T constant field in the CERN reference scenario. Increasing the field strength decreases the transverse emittance of the decay muons. To define a lower limit on the achievable emittance, the reference scenario is compared with a study case where pions decay in a field of 20 T. This simulation shows that in any realistic scenario the emittance will only be reduced by less than 21 in each transverse plane as compared to the reference scenario, and at the expense of an increase in longitudinal emittance.

A possible layout for a cooling experiment is being studied to demonstrate the feasibility of the CERN reference scenario for a muon cooling channel of a future neutrino factory. Tracking of muons in 3D magnetic and electric fields was performed with the aim of validating the set-up, i.e. the possibility of extrapolating to the final reference channel. Simulation results are shown together with...

This note presents a possible design for the transfer line between the proton driver accumulator and compressor rings of the CERN Neutrino Factory. Based on the layout of the two rings presented in Ref. [1], a possible configuration for the transfer line is studied. The geometry and the optics of such a transport system are discussed in details.

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...

Development is necessary in a large number of technologies before a Neutrino Factory complex can be built. In the case of the CERN project [1, 2, 3], with the help of other laboratories, work is progressing on the systems incorporated in the reference scheme. The subjects under investigation, the status of the studies and the trends of evolution of the scheme are described. HEACC'2001, 26-30 Ma...

One of the key component of the Neutrino Factory under study at CERN is the muon cooling channel based on ionization cooling. To explore the parameter-space and the efficiency of the design proposed at CERN, a muon cooling experiment. This note reports a possible layout of a transfer line delivering a primary proton beam onto a target to generate the muon beam. The details of the new transfer l...
