Emittance Measurement in MICE

چکیده
A muon collider [1] may be the optimal way to study high-energy lepton-antilepton collisions, and a neutrino factory [2] based on a muon storage ring may be the ideal tool for the study of neutrino oscillation and the search for leptonic CP violation. Ionization cooling [3, 4], while not yet experimentally demonstrated, is essential for highluminosity muon colliders and has been shown by simulations and design studies to be an important factor for the performance and cost of a neutrino factory. The international R&D program towards neutrino factories and muon colliders has as a key goal a first experimental demonstration of muon ionization cooling. This is underway in the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) [5], under construction at the UK’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). The main goals of MICE are to

Status of the Mice Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment*
Muon ionization cooling is the only solution to prepare high brilliance muon beams necessary for a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). A dedicated beam line generates a range of input emittances and momenta, with time-of-flight (TOF) and Cherenkov detectors to ensure a pu...
متن کاملTransverse emittance measurement devices for CERN injectors, present and future
The measurement of the transverse beam emittance is essential in any particle accelerator. This paper describes the problems of transverse emittance measurement for the new H LINAC being built at CERN as a replacement of the existing proton LINAC.
متن کاملThe MICE luminosity monitor
The MICE experiment will provide the first measurement of ionisation cooling, a technique suitable for reducing the transverse emittance of a tertiary muon beam in a future neutrino factory accelerator facility. MICE is presently in the final stages of commissioning its beam line. The MICE luminosity monitor has proved an invaluable tool throughout this process, providing independent measuremen...
متن کاملMethods of Emittance Measurement
We discuss experimental techniques for measurement of the density of beam particles in both the transverse and longitudinal phase space. The second moments of a two-dimensional density in conjugate coordinates are combined to form the emittance, which remains invariant under idealized beam transport. Four different methods of emittance measurement are presented, as will be implemented at the Br...

Linac4 is the near future 160 MeV H- linear accelerator of the CERN presently under construction. It will replace the present Linac2 as injector of the proton accelerator complex in CERN. The Linac4 is composed of a 45 keV ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a 352.2 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), which accelerates the beam to 3 MeV, and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT), ...
