Particle production for a muon storage ring
نویسنده
چکیده
Efficient production and collection of a large number of muons is needed to make a neutrino factory based on a muon storage ring viable. Results of extensive MARS simulations for 2–30GeV protons on various targets in a 20T hybrid solenoid followed by a matching section and decay channel are reported. Part I describes pion and muon yields, targetry issues, and beam energy and power considerations. Part II describes radiation loads on targets, the capturing system and shielding. r 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 41.75. i; 85.25.Ly; 87.18.Bb; 87.53.Wz

Large Acceptance Muon Storage Rings for Neutrino Production: Lattice Design
The possibility of achieving the high muon fluxes suggested in recent work on muon colliders has revived interest in the idea of using muon storage rings for neutrino production. Through proper design of the lattice, a significant fraction of the stored muons can be converted into an intense, low-divergence beam of neutrinos. This work examines the incorporation of a long, high-beta straight se...
متن کاملCompact storage ring to search for the muon electric dipole moment
We present the concept of a compact storage ring of less than 0.5 m orbit radius to search for the electric dipole moment of the muon (dμ) by adapting the “frozen spin” method. At existing muon facilities a statistics limited sensitivity of dμ ∼ 5 × 10 e cm can be achieved within one year of data taking. Reaching this precision would demonstrate the viability of this novel technique to directly...
متن کاملHigh-precision Storage Ring for G-2 of the Muon and Possible Applications in Particle and Heavy Ion Physics
A new superferric magnetic storage ring with highly homogeneous eld at 1.45 T and weak electrostatic focussing is described which has been set up at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), USA, for a precision measurement of the magnetic anomaly of the muon. The toroidal storage volume has a radius of 7 m and a diameter of 9 cm. Precision magnetic eld determination based on pulsed NMR on prot...
متن کاملLimit on a horizontal emittance in high energy muon colliders due to synchrotron radiation . ∗
It is shown that at a 100 TeV muon collider the synchrotron radiation in the ring will determine the minimum horizontal emittance. In all ee storage ring the horizontal emittance is determined by quantum nature of the synchrotron radiation. Emission of photons in regions with non-zero dispersion leads to growth of the horizontal emittance while the average energy loss leads to the cooling. As t...
