| MOP003 | A Shared Superconducting Linac for Protons and Muons | linac, proton, target, collider | 34 | ||
|
A future Fermilab proton driver* based on TESLA superconducting linac modules can provide protons to produce the muons and also accelerate the muons to be used for a neutrino factory or muon collider. Recent advances in muon cooling** imply muon emittances that are compatible with the 1300 MHz accelerating structures that are the basis for the ILC design. In the example discussed here, H- ions are accelerated to 8 GeV in the superconducting linac, then stripped, stored and bunched in a ring while the linac cavities are rephased for muon acceleration. Then the protons are extracted from the ring to produce pions and muons which are cooled in about six hundred meters, accelerated to a few GeV and injected into the linac at the point for acceleration to add 7 GeV. By recirculating the muons in the constant frequency section of such a proton driver linac, even higher energies can be achieved quickly so that losses from muon decay are minimized. By adding additional refrigeration and RF power, the repetition rate of the linac can be increased to make large increases in the average flux of a neutrino factory and the average luminosity of a muon collider.

The KEK injector linac is planned to be upgraded to perform the simultaneous injection for four rings (KEKB e-/ e+, PF and PF-AR rings). In this operation mode, each rf pulse accelerates the beam with different charge and energy by controlling the low-level rf phase. For this purpose, it is strongly required to improve the BPM DAQ system. In the current system, maximum DAQ rate is strictly limited by the oscilloscope performance, and it should be improved for the 50-Hz measurement. We made decision to replace the current DAQ system by the fast digital oscilloscope. In this presentation, the system description of the new DAQ system and the result of the performance test will be presented.
