Topics

Super-beams / conventional beams

• Time structure of a Superbeam M. Mezzetto
• Underground detector need to limit the
  atmospheric neutrino background
• Þ a duty cycle of 5.10-3 is necessary for the
  g100 beta-beam to the MEMPHYS detector (CERN
  Frejus)
• Þ can be increased by a significant factor for
  the SPL beam because of the higher rate of
  backgrounds.
• If 2 is acceptable, no accumulator is needed !
• Limiting factor left the horn
• Surface detector tighter constraint because of
  cosmic rays
• Þ only example today NOnA requires a duty
  cycle of 3.10-5.

Super-beams / conventional beams

• NuMI M. Bishai
• CNGS M. Meddahi

• Excellent beam performance for 1st year of
  operation
• 3 x 1013 protons per spill,
• 1 x1020 pot (9M spills) in 6 months
• Results wrt specs stability OK - beam power 70
• Equipment failures with Target (water leak) and
  Horns (support foot, ceramic insulator leak,
  clogged cooling spray nozzles).
• Successfully repaired but causes of some
  failures still being investigated

• Successful beam commissioning. CNGS project
  completed on time and within budget.
• Nominal beam parameters fulfilling specification
• Operation started 18 August with 1.3 1013 per
  spill,
• being gradually increased to the nominal 2.4
  1013

Super-beams / conventional beams

• Focus session experience from conventional
  neutrino facilities Moderator M. Meddahi
• Radiation environment and mechanical constraints
  for a Super-beam
• Þ higher rate of equipment failures ? (NuMI
  experience until now)
• Þ long cool down time before human intervention
  (1 month for CNGS -gt much more for super beams).
  Need for a well-defined strategy in case of
  equipment failure prepare, document and practice
  in length equipment exchange/repair.
• At an early phase of the design, perform a
  HAZard OPerability Study so
• recommendations can be implemented (A.
  Pardons-CNGS).
• Target for a Super-beam
• Þ Importance of the time structure of the beam.
  The limit of the CNGS target is set by the
  dynamic stresses. Spreading the extracted protons
  into more batches and increasing the spacing
  between extractions would allow for a significant
  increase of the proton flux on target.

Targets

  Simonsson, Anders Kallberg MSL Stockholm
• A cooling ring with multiturn injection can
  dramatically reduce the horizontal emittance of
  18Ne10 with 0.1 s cooling.
• The 6He2 case is much more difficult, since the
  cooling time is longer and the space charge tune
  shift larger.

  ring can be recovered using this technique

  instead of 400 MeV) and difficulties with the
  production of the RF cavities for the
  synchrotrons (better news recently)
• Various operational modes have been proposed to
  increase the beam power, like increasing the
  number of MR bunches and/or the MR repetition
  rate. For the time-being, the main goal is to
  reach Phase I0 Goal with robust / reliable
  hardware.

compared with 49.6). greater choice of the
opening angle around 50. Bow-tie
disadvantages need for 40 bending cells cf with
31, but fewer quads. need for a scheme to remove
the beam polarization.

A shared sc linac for protons and muons (1/2)
R. Johnson

• Advances in muon cooling imply that a muon beam
  can be accelerated in high-frequency SC RF. A
  Greenfield neutrino factory can use this
  capability so the proton driver and muon RLA
  share the same Linacs. The beam can be used by
  either a NF (with smaller emittance storage ring)
  or an MC (with a muon coalescing ring). High
  intensity comes by increasing the rep rate.
• Several new muon cooling projects were reviewed,
  including a 6D experiment for Fermilab.
