  25. Neutrino Spectrum at 1 km Low Z (Carbon) target seemsfeasible for 1 MW, 28 GeV proton beam. Thin low Z target minimizesreabsorption which increases flux of high energy neutrinos

  30. AGS Post-Accelerator (A. Ruggiero)

  31. Characteristics of FFAG Accelerator 1. Fixed-field (no ramping), hence good for high repetition rate application. 2. Large momentum acceptance. 3. Limited energy gain, Pf/Pi  3.0. 4. Complicated longitudinal dynamics. 5. High intensity performance has not been demonstrated. 6. Difficulty in injection and extraction.

  32. Possible Application of FFAG 1. Replacement of SCL for AGS Injection. a. electron stripping precludes H- acceleration. b. Need kHz rep. rate for FFAG for multi- batch injection. 2. Energy Doubler for SNS or ISIS is viable. 3. Replace LAR for either SNS or ESS. a. need further work in high intensity acceleration and injection/extraction.

  33. Possible Application of FFAG - Continued 4. May be good for APT. 5. May be good for RIA. 6. Electron Injector (low current, low energy, high rep. rate.

  34. Conclusion An upgraded AGS with 1 MW (further upgradeable to 4 MW) beam power is a cost effective proton driver for a neutrino superbeam for very long baseline experiments and eventually as a proton driver for neutrino factory.
