  1. Simulations of Muon Cooling With an Inverse Cyclotron • Introduction • G4beamline Work • ICOOL Work • Plans and Goals Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  2. Introduction • Started new appointment with U. of Mississippi • Don Summers is my boss • I’ll be working on • MICE • MuCool • Inverse cyclotron simulation working with • Kevin Paul from Tech-X • Kevin Beard from JLab.; Muons, Inc. • Bob Palmer from BNL Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  3. Introduction • Inverse cyclotron intriguing scheme for 6D muon cooling • Inverse Cyclotron Scheme • Muon beam injected into cyclotron • Lose energy through material interactions • material wedges surrounded by gas • Mid-plane foil relying on betatron oscillations • Focus beam with sectored (straight or spiral) magnetic field • Cooled muon beam coalesces at cyclotron center into one bunch • Muon bunch extracted perpendicular to cyclotron Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  4. Introduction • Inverse cyclotron illustration of energy loss injection • ICOOL simulation from Bob Palmer • Lithium hydride wedges • 4 sectors, 1.8 T, soft edged magnetic field • Three 172 MeV/c muons Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  5. Introduction • References • 6D Muon Ionization Cooling with an Inverse Cyclotron from COOL 05; Summers, Bracker, Cremaldi, Godang, Palmer (2005) • Focusing Properties of Superconducting Cyclotron Magnets, NIM 121, Blosser and Johnson (1974) • Handbook of Accelerator Physics and Engineering, edited by Chao, Tigner • Introductory Nuclear Physics, Krane Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  6. G4beamline Work • Don sent me program generating Bz of spiral sector cyclotron • Number of sectors • Spiral angle • Bz,high, Bz,low • Transition regions • Between sectors • Z bottle • G4beamline can import field from text file • I wanted to generate stable orbits from trial/error and calculation • No beam energy, angular spreads • No energy loss Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  7. θ1 + θ2 = 60º sin(θ1/2) = (r2/r1) × sin(θ2 /2) = 4 × sin(θ2 /2) r1 = (50 MeV)/(e × c × 2 T) = 83.33 mm r2 = (50 MeV)/(e × c × 0.5 T) = 333.33 mm Numerical evaluation of angles, lots of algebra yield rmin = 191.85 mm rave = 202.91 mm rmax = 214.62 mm θ2 r2 θ1 r1 rmax rave rmin Bz = 2 T Bz = -0.5 T Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  8. Plugging Calculated Orbit into G4beamline • Simulation pretty close to calculation • ~40 orbits before escape • Red dashed line: calculated rave • Why not exact closed orbit? • Probably due to G4beamline linear field interpolation between grid points “fields not symplectic”? Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  9. Try Energy Loss With Hydrogen Gas • Add 0.001 g/cm3 hydrogen gas • Two particles • Spiral in (good) • Escape (bad) • Refine by • varying gas pressure vs. radius in accordance to dE/dx vs. momentum • And/or add lithium hydride wedges Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  10. What’s Needed to Go On • Focusing in cyclotron plane needs azimuthal (Bx, By) fields • Much harder than Bz, but programs available • Use soft-edged fields instead of hard-edged fields • Energy loss • Hydrogen gas of varying densities • Lithium hydride wedges Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  11. ICOOL Work • Bob Palmer sent me zip file with input, output files of inverse cyclotron simulation • I’ve been studying ICOOL files, ICOOL User’s Guide, and ICOOL Reference Manual • Really close to reproducing output. • Would like to further develop ICOOL inverse cyclotron simulations • Inverse Cyclotron Illustration • ICOOL simulation • Lithium hydride wedges • 4 sectors, 1.8 T, soft edged magnetic field • Three 172 MeV/c muons Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop

  12. Plans and Goals • Continue learning more accelerator physics, G4beamline, ICOOL, … • Learn more about sector cyclotron magnetic field programs • Existing field in ICOOL simulations • TOSCA, TRIUMF CYCLOPS, … • Develop inverse cyclotron simulations with G4beamline and ICOOL • Find out what’s already known and developed so that I don’t do too much redundant studies • Keep working with Don, Kevin, Kevin, Bob, Rick, and others on developing inverse cyclotron simulations for muon cooling Terry Hart, U. of Mississippi., Muon Collider Design Workshop
