MICE Status and Plans

This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of a section of a cooling channel for the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE). The main challenges include RF in a magnetic field and measuring emittance at the level of 10^-3. The experiment is approved at RAL (UK) and funded by various countries. The implementation is planned in steps, with the final phase aimed for 2009.

  1. MICE Status and Plans Rikard Sandström Université de Geneve International Scoping Study CERN, 2005-09-22

  2. The experiment - Introduction Aims: demonstrate feasibility and performance of a section of cooling channel • Main challenges: • RF in magnetic field • 10-3 meas. of emittance • Safety issues Status: Approved at RAL(UK) First beam: 04-2007 Funded in: UK,CH,JP,NL,US.It Further requests: CH,JP,UK

  3. Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment Particle ID Tracking Final PID: TOF Cherenkov Calorimeter SFOFO cooling cell 4T spectrometer II Cooling cell (~10%) b=5-45cm, liquid H2, RF 4T spectrometer I TOF Single-m beam ~200 MeV/c

  4. MICE beam line at RAL

  5. m implementation in steps physics-based: understanding of systematics - STEP I: April 2007 STEP II: October 2007 PHASE I STEP III: 2008 STEP IV: 2008 PHASE II STEP V 2008? STEP VI aim: 2009

  6. Detectors

  7. Detectors Calorimeter: Approved. Prototype funded for test. Completion money awarded after test. TOF: Approved. TOF0 prototype funded for test. Completion money awarded after test. Questions on TOFII need to be answered CKOV1: Being redesigned for lower momenta. CKOV2: Designed but not funded. A problem to be solved. SciFi tracker: Prototype at test beam in Japan right now. Simulation shows flat pt resolution, pz resolution very pt depending.

  8. Absorbers

  9. Prototypes, absorbers and RF RF R&D – 805MHz program to resume next month • Will start with curved Be windows • Buttons of different materials and grids will also be tested – 201MHz will start up shortly afterward – GH2 pressurized cavity tests also starting (Muons Inc) • Absorber – Another instrumented LH2 fill test in the Fall – New windows available, dedicated test area at Fermilab 201MHz RF cavity with beryllium windows From NuFact’05 Liquid-hydrogen absorbers Scintillating-fiber tracker

  10. Magnetic shield efficiency |B| TOF Ckov r Black = No Iron Red = with Iron EMCal Residual B @ EMCAL ~2x higher than shown in TDR ~ 38mT “Scraping not a problem for 25 cm hole.”

  11. Outcome of DAQ meeting one month ago: Decisions: CM will be based on Epics DAQ will be based on VME bus We’ll PC under Linux Easier if all VME have the same interface To be done: Specifications for DDAQ, including trigger system -> Choose the DAQ software Finalise discussion on DDAQ/CM interconnection Design an Ethernet Network Infrastructure Start Testing Detector data Readout must be performed at the end of the spill Data has to be buffered in the FEE There is an ADC problem Conversion time for conventional ADC does not allow 600 muons/1ms spill Critical for EmCal The Particle-trigger scheme is not well defined Particle trigger = Digitisation trigger ≠ Readout trigger Should be flexible (allow calibration, cosmic events, etc…) Data Volume: 25 kB/μ (2 kB/μ if zero suppression in the tracker) ~10 MB/spill or 25 GB/run ~ 60 TB/year (2500 runs) DAQ (From Graulich Sept 14)

  12. G4MICE G4MICE is the main software tool for MICE • Geant4 simulations • Simulated detector response • Reconstruction of events • Analysis In a stable state, now used for various background simulations, emittance calculations, PID, effects of scraping etc. To do: Single particle emittance Simulation of full spill structure Persistency

  13. Funding at this point MICE (PhaseI) is an approved and funded project in 5 countries -- UK: 9.7M£ (+ phase II penciled) Beam, Infrastructure, fiber tracker .. Focus coils -- USA: funding from the NFMCC(DOE) + NSF Absorber windows, fiber tracker, RF CC modules, spectrometer solenoids -- Japan fiber tracker, absorbers -- Switzerland: PSI beam solenoid, DAQ +CERN used RF (2X2MW) -- Netherlands magnetic probes -- Italy: TOF, Calorimeter
