A 15-t Pulsed Solenoid for a High-power Target Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MERIT experiment, which ran at CERN in 2007, is a proof-of-principle test for a target system that converts a 4-MW proton beam into a high-intensity muon beam for either a neutrino factory complex or a muon collider. The target system is based on a free mercury jet that intercepts an intense proton beam inside a 15-T solenoidal magnetic field. Here, we describe the design and performance of the 15-T, liquid-nitrogen-precooled, copper solenoid magnet.

The MERIT High-Power Target Experiment at the CERN PS
We report on the analysis of data collected in the MERIT experiment at CERN during the Fall of 2007. These results validate the concept of a free mercury jet inside a high-field solenoid magnet as a target for a pulsed proton beam of 4MW power, as needed for a future Muon Collider and/or Neutrino Factory.
متن کاملThe Merit High-power Target Experiment at the Cern Ps
The MERIT experiment was designed as a proof-ofprinciple test of a target system based on a free mercury jet inside a 15-T solenoid that is capable of sustaining proton beam powers of up to 4 MW. The experiment was run at CERN in the fall of 2007. We describe the results of the tests and their implications.
متن کاملA High-field Pulsed Solenoid Magnet for Liquid Metal Target Studies
The target system for a muon collider/neutrino factory requires the conjunction of an intense proton beam, a highZ liquid target and a high-field solenoid magnet. We describe the design parameters for a pulsed solenoid, including the magnet cryogenic system and power supply, that can generate transient fields of greater than 10T with a flattops on the order of 1 second. It is envisioned to loca...
متن کاملCooling System for the Merit High- Power Target Experiment
MERIT is a proof-of-principle experiment of a target station suitable as source for future muon colliders or neutrino factories. When installed at the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) PS (Proton Synchrotron) complex fast-extracted highintensity proton beams intercepted a free mercury jet inside a normal-conducting, pulsed 15-T capture solenoid magnet cooled with liquid nitrogen...
متن کاملTransport of laser-accelerated proton beams with pulsed high-field solenoids
The interaction between an ultra-intense laser pulse (I > 10 W/cm) and a thin target foil leads to an acceleration of protons up to kinetic energies of several tens of MeV. In the short acceleration time of a few picoseconds up to 10 protons and ions are accelerated. Well-defined, smooth beams with transverse emittances more than hundred times smaller than in conventional accelerators are obser...
