A High-field Pulsed Solenoid Magnet for Liquid Metal Target Studies
نویسنده
چکیده
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 locate this device at the Brookhaven AGS for proof-of-principle testing of a liquid-jet target system with pulses of 10 protons.

A single-solenoid pulsed-magnet system for single-crystal scattering studies.
We present a pulsed-magnet system that enables x-ray single-crystal diffraction in addition to powder and spectroscopic studies with the magnetic field applied on or close to the scattering plane. The apparatus consists of a single large-bore solenoid, cooled by liquid nitrogen. A second independent closed-cycle cryostat is used for cooling samples near liquid helium temperatures. Pulsed magnet...
متن کاملA 15-t Pulsed Solenoid for a High-power Target Experiment
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...
متن کاملExperimental observation of proton-induced shocks and magneto-fluid-dynamics in liquid metal
A liquid metal target is one of the options for the pion production target of a n-factory. The interaction between a liquid metal and a proton beam were observed with static mercury as well as with a free mercury jet and up to 4 10 protons/bunch. The experimental method for investigating the magneto-fluid-dynamic effects of a high-velocity liquid metal in a high magnetic field magnet has been v...
متن کاملA 4-mw Target Station for a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory
We outline a program of engineering design and simulation for a target station and pion production/capture system for a 4-MW proton beam at the front end of a Muon Collider or a Neutrino Factory. The target system consists of a free liquid-metal (nominally mercury) jet immersed in a high-field solenoid magnet capture system that also incorporates the proton beam dump. Topics to be studied inclu...
متن کاملThe 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.
