Muon acceleration with a very fast ramping synchrotron for a neutrino factory

Abstract: Abstract. A 4600 Hz fast ramping synchrotron is explored as an economical way of accelerating muons from 4 to 20 GeV/c for a neutrino factory. Eddy current losses are minimized by the low machine duty cycle plus thin grain oriented silicon steel laminations and thin copper wires. Combined function magnets with high gradients alternating within single magnets form the lattice we describe. Muon survival is 83%.

“…Another feature of these facilities is their small footprint, at least compared to energy-frontier e + ecolliders or hadron colliders. Figure 3 shows the baseline design for the Neutrino Factory from the International Scoping Study Report [5] and a concept for a 4 TeV center-of-mass Muon Collider that can fit on the Fermilab site which is based on rapid-cycling synchrotron acceleration [6].…”

“…• Optimization of acceleration techniques to increase the energy of a muon beam (with a large momentum spread) from a few GeV to a few tens of GeV (e.g., recirculating linacs [123], very rapidly cycling synchrotrons [124], FFAG rings [31; 125])…”

“…Initial beam tests of both solid and liquid targets were completed at the AGS, using a 24 GeV extracted proton beam. These tests were done at a typical intensity of about 4 × 10 12 protons per pulse (compared with a design intensity of 1.6 × 10 13 protons per pulse). Results of this work have been reported previously [2] and will not be covered here.…”
