  2. Accelerator R&D in Switzerland and Particle Physics at PSI • High intensity protons • LHC and its upgrades: high energy frontier • PSI cyclotron: neutron and muon sources • High intensity/precision frontier experiments • Advanced Light Sources and e+e- colliders • X-ray Free Electron Laser: PSI-XFEL • Small emittance optimisation in storage rings (SLS) Important synergies between CERN and PSI!

  3. LHC Upgrades • Currently 12 EPFL doctoral students • Some examples: • Beam beam interaction simulations (T. Pieloni) • Smaller beam size at the IP (R. de Maria) • Dipole first ‚D0‘ (G. Sterbini) • Injector chain upgrade, SPS intensity limit (B. Salvant) • … CERN Doctoral Program!

  17. High intensity/precision frontier • MEG (meg) • UCN, nEDM • FAST • MuSun • m Hydrogen Lamb shift

  18. Muon Lifetime Measurement with FAST FAST aims for a 2ppm (4 ps) measurement of the μ+ lifetime to determine the Fermi constant GF to 1ppm Increase the event sample by a factor 100 and reduce the systematics by a factor 10 compared to earlier measurements. This requires a precise measurement of few x1011 μ+ decays over several tm periods (Imaging , parallel acquisition, high rate) • A continuous p+ beam (pM1) is stopped in a highly granular fast imaging target. • The full p-m-e chain is identified by FPGA logic and the time of particles is measured. • DAQ data flow of 80 MBytes/s requires online analysis. • Remote operation of the detector, group of only about 10 act. members.

  19. Results and Outlook 2006 – 2007 Commissioning 1010 events taken 2008 Data Taking 3 x 1011 events taken in 140 days Very preliminary: d (tm) = 3.2 ppm (stat) d (GF) = 1.6 ppm 2009 last year of data taking: Runs to study systematics Additional data set of 3 x 1011 events to finish the 1ppm measurement Physics Letters B 663 (2008) 172–180
