Kaon Physics with a High-intensity Proton Driver
نویسنده
چکیده
We study opportunities for future high-precision experiments in kaon physics using a high-intensity proton driver, which could be part of the front-end of a muon storage ring complex. We discuss in particular the rare decays KL → π0νν̄, K+ → π+νν̄, KL → π0e+e−, and lepton-flavour violating modes such as KL → μe and K → πμe. The outstanding physics potential and longterm interest of these modes is emphasized. We review status and prospects of current and planned experiments for the processes under consideration, and indicate possible improvements and strategies towards achieving the necessary higher sensitivity. Finally, we outline the machine requirements needed to perform these high-precision kaon experiments in the context of a muon storage ring facility.

Neutrino oscillation physics with a FNAL proton driver
The Fermilab proton driver (FPD) is proposed to consist of a linear accelerator and several main injector modifications. Its purpose is to provide higher fluxes to potential experiments, such as neutrino oscillation experiments [1,2], or muon, kaon, pion, neutron, or antiproton experiments [1]. It is aiming for 8GeV and (up to) 120GeV protons at about 2MW, which is a factor of five to ten past ...

In 2004 the Fermilab Long Range Planning Committee identified a new high intensity Proton Driver as an attractive option for the future, primarily motivated by the recent exciting developments in neutrino physics. Over the last few months a physics study has developed the physics case for the Fermilab Proton Driver. The potential physics opportunities are discussed.

This note reports a number of different layouts for designing a high intensity proton driver. Such a machine should perform beam accumulation and bunch compression in order to achieve the performance needed for the production of neutrino in the context of a Neutrino Factory. The different approaches are described in details as well as the optics of the various lattices. Geneva, Switzerland 14 J...
