The efficiency of using magnetic horns as a pion collection device has been recognized by several neutrino projects. In the study, we began with a “NuMI-like” horn, which was applied to collect the secondary pions from bombarding the target with 120 GeV/c protons in the nuSTORM proposal. The necessity of optimizing the horn for a non-conventional neutrino beamline like the nuSTORM pion beamline was then acknowledged. This paper presents a detailed description of the optimization objectives, the Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm developed for this specific purpose, and the results of the optimization. With the full G4beamline simulation results, the success of the optimization provides an increase of 16\% in the useful muons in the ring. This methodology can be applied to any neutrino beamline configuration.

The nuSTORM FODO decay ring is designed to achieve both a large phase space acceptance of 2 mm and a large momentum acceptance of 3.8±10\% GeV/c. The goal is challenging, not only because the high dispersion needed at the Beam Combination Section (BCS) of the ring enlarges the beam size, but also because of the nonlinear beam dynamics. In this paper the preliminary design of the nuSTORM ring is presented, which includes the requirements, the ring parameters, and also the tracking results in the MADX PTC\TRACKING module.
