  2. Outline • This talk is far from a blueprint for beta beams at US labs! • Attempt to look at how US machines could fit into a CERN-like scenario. • Basic calculations to investigate which US machines could be utilized. Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  3. CERN site study Decay ring Decay ring Ions generated: 2 1013 s-16He 8 1010 s-118Ne B = 1500 Tm B = 5 T B = 5 T L L = 2500 m = 2500 m ss ss =150 SPL Ions stored: 2 10146He2+ 9 101218Ne10+ (simultaneously in 4+4 10ns bunches) Decay Decay ISOL target Ring Ring & Ion source SPS SPS ISOL linac 100 MeV/u PS PS Storage ring +RCS =9.2 300 MeV/u Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004 [Slide from M. Lindroos et al]

  4. CERN Intensities Only b-decay losses accounted for, add efficiency losses (50%) Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004 [Slide from M. Lindroos et al]

  5. Different “CERN scenarios” • “Original” based on max SPS field, (He)=150 [Nufact02]. • Both species in machine simultaneously, optimum at (He)=60 and (Ne)=100 [Nufact03] • Higher energies, proposed =600 (upgraded SPS). Relaxes beam requirements [hep-ph/0312068] • Low energy (nuclear physics) [hep-ph/0303222 ] Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  6. Possible US sites Only considering high energy beta-beams Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  7. Possible US scenario 8 / 1.2 GeV SC Linac Decay Decay ISOL target Tevatron/ RHIC Ring Ring & Ion source ISOL linac Storage ring? MI/AGS FNAL/ AGS Booster Note that both labs already have an RCS, as proposed for CERN scenario. Both labs also have plans for a SC proton driver linac  Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  8. Brookhaven machines • Energies are for protons • Proposed 1.2 GeV Linac could be used for RI production Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  9. Brookhaven machines II * Values are for 6He2+ / 18Ne10+ Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  10. Some Brookhaven issues • Acceleration efficiency (RHIC) • Associated losses • Low rep rate* • Top energies comparable to CERN SPS (or less)** Upgrade power supplies? *Could perhaps interleave RHIC rings to double rep rate? ** Harmonic numbers also similar to CERN  Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  11. Fermi machines • Energies are for protons • Proposed 8 GeV Linac could be used for RI production Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  12. Fermi machines II * Values are for 6He2+ / 18Ne10+ Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  13. Fermi machines III • Values are for 6He2+ / 18Ne10+, calculated to yield • 1 W/m on average in Tevatron (not based on ion production) Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  14. Some Fermilab issues • Loss sensitivity of Tevatron (how many RIs can it take all the way to top energy?). • Relatively long acceleration cycle of Tevatron (lower rep rate than SPS). • Activation and shielding of Booster (and other machines). • … + all the non-CERN specific issues Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  15. Decay ring • CERN baseline version fits on site • For higher gamma, site limits size (more space at BNL). • What direction to experiment (Soudan too far away)? CERN baseline, (He)=150 Scaled to (He)=320 Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  16. Observations • Both BNL and Fermilab plan for proton drivers that could be used for RI production • If RHIC can be made to ramp significantly faster, BNL site may be comparable to CERN for BB • Main injector can get close to the proposed energies for running both He+Ne simultaneously at CERN. • Using the Tevatron, could achieve higher gammas ! Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004

  17. Studies needed for higher gamma • Physics gain from going to Tevatron energies (He=320 and Ne=540 ). • Possible experiments and locations. • Intensity and bunching factor requirements. • More details on efficiencies, loss limits and intensity limits (i.e. can these requirements be met). • Longitudinal gymnastics scheme (need new RF?). • … Andreas Jansson, Neutrino Workshop, ANL, March 3-4, 2004
