| TUPMY001 | Very Low Emittance Muon Beam using Positron Beam on Target | 1536 |
|
||
| Muon beams are customarily obtained via K/π decays produced in proton interaction on target. In this paper we investigate the possibility to produce low emittance muon beams from electron-positron collisions at centre-of-mass energy just above the μ+{+}μ+{-} production threshold with maximal beam energy asymmetry, corresponding to a positron beam of about 45 GeV interacting on electrons on target. Performances on both amorphous and crystal target are presented, and the general scheme for the muon production will be given. We present the main features of this scheme with a first preliminary evaluation of the performances that could be achieved by a multi-TeV muon collider. | ||

| TUPMY002 | APF IH-DTL Design for the Muon LINAC in the J-PARC Muon g-2/EDM Experiment | 1539 |
|
||
| The muon linac for the J-PARC muon g-2/EDM experiment consists of RFQ (324 MHz), IH-DTL (324 MHz), DAW coupled cell linac (1.3 GHz), and disk loaded structure (1.3 GHz). Because muon has finite life time, the muons should be accelerated in a sufficiently short period. To realize fast acceleration, Alternative Phase Focusing (APF) scheme is adopted in IH-DTL in which the muons are accelerated from 0.34 MeV to about 4 MeV. In this poster, the design of the APF IH-DTL for muon acceleraiton with the computer calculation will be presented. | ||

| TUPMY003 | Development of Muon LINAC for the Muon g-2/EDM Experiment at J-PARC | 1543 |
|
||
| Precision measurements of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) and electric dipole moment (EDM) are effective ways to cast light on beyond the standard model of elementary particle physics. The J-PARC E34 experiment aims to measure g-2 with a precision of 0.1 ppm and search for EDM with a sensitivity to 10-{-21} e· cm with high intensity proton beam at J-PARC and a novel technique of making a muon beam with small emittance (the ultra-cold muon beam). The ultra-cold muon beam is generated from a surface muon beam by the thermal muonium (30 meV) production followed by the laser ionization, and acceleration to 212 MeV or 300 MeV/c by the muon dedicated LINAC. The muon LINAC consists of RFQ, inter-digital IH, Disk And Washer (DAW) coupled cell and disk loaded structure. The ultra-cold muons will have an extremely small transverse momentum spread of less than 1 % with a normalized transverse emittance of around 1.5 pi mm-mrad. The muon acceleration to 300 MeV/c will be the first case in the world and it will be one of the base technologies of future accelerator programs. In this talk, design and status of the muon LINAC will be reported. | ||

| TUPMY004 | The MICE Demonstration of Muon Ionization Cooling | 1547 |
|
||
|
Funding: STFC, DOE, NSF, INFN, CHIPP AND MORE Muon beams of low emittance provide the basis for the intense, well-characterised neutrino beams necessary to elucidate the physics of flavour at the Neutrino Factory and to provide lepton-antilepton collisions up to several TeV at the Muon Collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will demonstrate muon ionization cooling, the technique proposed to reduce the phase-space volume occupied by the muon beam at such facilities. In an ionization-cooling channel, the muon beam traverses a material (the absorber) loosing energy, which is replaced using RF cavities. The combined effect is to reduce the transverse emittance of the beam (transverse cooling). The configuration of MICE required to deliver the demonstration of ionization cooling is being prepared in parallel to the execution of a programme designed to measure the cooling properties of liquid-hydrogen and lithium hydride. The design of the cooling-demonstration experiment will be presented together with a summary of the performance of each of its components and the cooling performance of the experiment. Submitted by the MICE speakers bureau that will identify later a member of the collaboration to present the contribution |

| TUPMY005 | A Muon Source Proton Driver at JPARC-based Parameters | 1550 |
|
||
|
Funding: Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. De-AC02-07CH11359 with the U. S. Department of Energy. An "ultimate" high intensity proton source for neutrino factories and/or muon colliders was projected to be a ~4 MW multi-GeV proton source providing short, intense proton pulses at ~15 Hz. The JPARC ~1 MW accelerators provide beam at parameters that in many respects overlap these goals. Proton pulses from the JPARC Main Ring can readily meet the pulsed intensity goals. We explore these parameters, describing the overlap and consider extensions that may take a JPARC-like facility toward this "ultimate" source. JPARC itself could serve as a stage 1 source for such a facility. |

| TUPMY006 | MICE Step IV Optics without the M1 Coil in SSD | 1553 |
|
||
|
Funding: Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will demonstrate ionization cooling, the only technique that, given the short muon lifetime, can reduce the phase-space volume occupied by a muon beam quickly enough. MICE will demonstrate cooling in two steps. In the first one, Step IV, MICE will study the multiple Coulomb scattering in liquid hydrogen (LH2) and lithium hydride (LiH). A focus coil module will provide focussing on the absorber. The transverse emittance will be measured upstream and downstream of the absorber in two spectrometer solenoids (SS). Magnetic fields generated by two match coils in the SSs allow the beam to be matched into a flat-field regions in which the tracking detectors are installed. An incident in September 2015 rendered matching coil \#1 (M1D) of the downstream spectrometer inoperable. A new Step IV lattice without M1D and its optimization via a Genetic Algorithm (GA) will be described in this paper. |

| TUPMY008 | Phase Rotation of Muon Beams for Producing Intense Low-energy Muon Beams | 1556 |
|
||
| Low-energy muon beams are useful for rare decay researches, providing access to new physics that cannot be addressed at high-energy colliders. However, the large initial energy spread of the muon beam greatly limits the efficiency of muon applications. In this paper we outline a phase rotation method to significantly increase the intensity of low-energy muons. The muons are first produced by a short pulsed proton driver, and after a drift channel they form a time-momentum correlation. A series of rf cavities is used to bunch the muons and then phase rotate the bunches so that all the bunches reaches a momentum around 100 MeV/c. Then another group of rf cavities is used to decelerate the muon bunches to low-energy. Such a method produces low-energy muons with an efficiency of 0.1 muon per 8 GeV proton, which is significantly higher than the current Mu2e experiment at Fermilab, and it provides the possibility for the next generation rare decay researches. | ||

| Cooled muon beams set the basis for the exploration of physics of flavour at a Neutrino Factory and for multi-TeV collisions at a Muon Collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) measures beam emittance before and after an ionization cooling cell and aims to demonstrate emittance reduction in muon beams. In the current MICE Step IV configuration, the MICE muon beam passes through low-Z absorber material for reducing its transverse emittance through ionization energy loss. Two scintillating fiber tracking detectors, housed in spectrometer solenoid modules upstream and downstream of the absorber are used for reconstructing position and momentum of individual muons for calculating transverse emittance reduction. However, due to existence of non-linear effects in beam optics, transverse emittance growth can be observed. Therefore, it is crucial to develop algorithms that are insensitive to this apparent emittance growth. We describe a different figure of merit for measuring muon cooling which is the direct measurement of the phase space density. | ||

| TUPMY012 | Hybrid Methods for Simulation of Muon Ionization Cooling Channels | 1568 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. COSY Infinity is an arbitrary-order beam dynamics simulation and analysis code. It can determine high-order transfer maps of combinations of particle optical elements of arbitrary field configurations. New features are being developed for inclusion in COSY to follow the distribution of charged particles through matter. To study in detail some of the properties of muons passing through material, the transfer map approach alone is not sufficient. The interplay of beam optics and atomic processes must be studied by a hybrid transfer map–Monte Carlo approach in which transfer map methods describe the deterministic behavior of the particles in the accelerator channel, and Monte Carlo methods are used to model the stochastic processes intrinsic to liquid and solid absorbers. The advantage of the new approach is that the vast majority of the dynamics is represented by fast application of the high-order transfer map of an entire element and accumulated stochastic effects. The gains in speed are expected to simplify the optimization of muon cooling channels which are usually very computationally demanding. Progress on the development of the required algorithms is reported. |

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. New computational tools are essential for accurate modeling and simulation of the next generation of muon based accelerator experiments. One of the crucial physics processes specific to muon accelerators that has not yet been implemented in any current simulation code is beam induced plasma effect in liquid, solid, and gaseous absorbers. We report here on the progress of developing the required simulation tools and applying them to study the properties of plasma and its effects on the beam in muon ionization cooling channels. |

| TUPMY014 | Muon Acceleration Concepts for Future Neutrino Factory | 1574 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by the Muon Accelerator Program Here, we summarize current state of concept for muon acceleration aimed at future Neutrino Factory. The main thrust of these studies was to reduce the overall cost while maintaining performance through exploring interplay between complexity of the cooling systems and the acceptance of the accelerator complex. To ensure adequate survival of the short-lived muons, acceleration must occur at high average gradient. The need for large transverse and longitudinal acceptances drives the design of the acceleration system to initially low RF frequency, e.g. 325 MHz, and then increased to 650 MHz, as the transverse size shrinks with increasing energy. High-gradient normal conducting RF cavities at these frequencies require extremely high peak-power RF sources. Hence superconducting RF (SRF) cavities are chosen. Here, we considered two cost effective schemes for accelerating muon beams for a stagable Neutrino Factory: Exploration of the so-called 'dual-use' linac concept, where the same linac structure is used for acceleration of both H− and muons and alternatively, the SRF efficient design based on multi-pass (4.5) 'dogbone' RLA, extendable to multi-pass FFAG-like arcs. |

| TUPMY044 | Carbon and Mercury Target Systems for Muon Colliders and Neutrino Factories | 1641 |
|

|
Funding: Work supported in part by US DOE Contract NO. DE-AC02-98CH110886 A high-power target is required to convert a powerful MW-class proton beam into an intense muon source or neutrino source in support of physics at the intensity frontier. The first phase of a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory program may use a 6.75-GeV proton driver with beam power of only 1 MW. At this lower power it is favorable to use a graphite target with beam and target tilted slightly to the axis of a 20-T pion-capture solenoid around the target. Using the MARS15 (2014) code, we optimized the geometric parameters of the beam and target to maximize particle production at low energies by an incoming proton beam with kinetic energy of 6.75 GeV impinging on this carbon target. We also studied beam-dump configurations to suppress the rate of undesirable high-energy secondary particles in the beam. For a possible upgrade to a proton beam of multi-MW power, we considered a free-flowing mercury jet. |
