Initial beam line study program • Extract parameters of beam line elements from FNAL program OPTIM • Make translation to Transport/Decay Turtle • Use Decay Turtle to determine stored muon flux at magic momentum within g-2 ring emittance • Decrease cell length (increase number of quadrupoles) until phase space saturated (similar to Pile/Kammel/Knaack/Debevec effort with BNL g-2 beam line - see next two slides) • NB: Since channel longer, we can tune to optimal pion momentum.
Some new issues • Shared AP-2 line use • Matching of new AP-2 line to debuncher ring • Adequate pion momentum selection upstream of target • Possible polarization dilution due to larger pion divergence. (0° decays will reduce this effect.)
Conclusions • Longer decay channel better • Tune to optimal pion momentum • Reduce pion flash • Current AP-2 acceptance similar to BNL g-2 beam line so BNL upgrade ideas applicable • Chromaticity issues will be easier since AP-2 designed for +/- 2 1/2%
