Impact of the Energy of the Proton Driver on Muon Production
Simulations studies have been carried out to examine the impact of the energy of the proton driver on muon production. The muon flux is calculated as a function of proton energy over a wide range, which covers the energies at the existing muon and neutron facilities worldwide. The muon and higher energy pion yields are normalised per beam current and accelerator power. The case of a higher ener...
متن کاملAn Intense Low Energy Muon Source for the Muon Collider
A scheme for obtaining an intense source of low energy muons is described. It is based on the production of pions in a high field magnetic bottle trap. By ensuring efficient slowing down and extraction of the decay muons an intense intermediate energy muon beam is obtained. For the specific case of negative muons a novel technique called frictional accumulation provides efficient conversion int...
متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH PS/AE Note 2001–006 CERN-NUFACT Note 075 A Layout for a Muon Cooling Experiment at the CERN-PS: The Primary Proton Beam
One of the key component of the Neutrino Factory under study at CERN is the muon cooling channel based on ionization cooling. To explore the parameter-space and the efficiency of the design proposed at CERN, a muon cooling experiment. This note reports a possible layout of a transfer line delivering a primary proton beam onto a target to generate the muon beam. The details of the new transfer l...
متن کاملA Solenoid Capture System for a Muon Collider
The concept for a muon-production system for a muon collider or neutrino factory calls for an intense 4-MW-class proton beam impinging upon a free-flowing mercury jet immersed in a 20-T solenoid field. This system is challenging in many aspects, including magnetohydrodynamics of the mercury jet subject to disruption by the proton beam, strong intermagnetic forces, and the intense thermal loads ...
متن کاملPion Collection from an Intense Proton Beam in a Plasma
The μμ collider concept requires an intense proton beam smashing into a target to make pions that subsequently decay into muons. As described in the literature, the concept requires a high-field solenoid to enhance the effective final muon yield. Given the difficulty of maintaining the muon beam in the presence of muon decay, it seems interesting to consider concepts that preserve first the int...
