  12. CNGS Performance For CNGS performance, the main issues are • the geodesic alignment wrt. Gran Sasso Examples: effect on ντ cc events horn off axis by 6mm < 3% reflector off axis by 30mm < 3% proton beam on target < 3% off axis by 1mm CNGS facility misaligned < 3% by 0.5mrad (beam 360m off) • the beam must hit the target very accurately E. Gschwendtner, CERN

  14. TBID 2 IonCh L/R TBID + 2 Ionization Chambers TBID Monitor ● Secondary emission monitor ● 12 µm Ti foils ● better than 10-4 mbar vacuum Purpose: • Check efficiency with which protons are converted into secondaries • Multiplicity (Compare with BFCT upstream of the target) • Misalignment of the Beam Ionization Chamber ● N2 filled SPS type BLM ● radius = 4.75 cm, bias: 800V-1500V ● 30 gaps, gap-width = 0.55 cm Ionization Chambers as back-up • cross-check with TBID • information on multiplicity and beam-alignment E. Gschwendtner, CERN

  15. Charged particle fluence for misaligned beam 0mm 1mm 2mm Part/cm2/pot 5mm TBID + 2 Ionization Chambers At position of ionization chambers: FLUKA simulations E. Gschwendtner, CERN

  16. Muon Monitors • Monitoring of: • muon intensity • muon beam profile shape • muon beam profile centre • Muon intensity: • Up to 7.7x107 per cm2 and 10.5 µs • Dynamic range: 105 • Accuracies: • absolute 10 % • relative 3 % • reproducibility: cycle to cycle 1%, one year 5% E. Gschwendtner, CERN

  17. µ Muon Monitor Layout • 17 fixed monitors (Ionization Chambers) • Possibility to double number of monitors • 1 movable chamber behind fixed monitors for relative calibration • Movement by stepping motors E. Gschwendtner, CERN

  20. Information Exchange with Gran Sasso • Timing • Expected muon fluence for the nominal CNGS beam intensity (FLUKA) (muons from ν interactions in Gran Sasso rock) • 43.6 µ/m2/1019 pot • 0.98 µ/m2/day or • 196 µ/m2/y • Muon spectrum peaks at low energies: <p> = 16.2GeV/c. E. Gschwendtner, CERN

  21. Cross-Hair + 2 Ionization Chambers Additional Instrumentation Possibilities • Cross-Hair with 2 Ionization Chamber • additional, more accurate information on proton beam • angular accuracy achieved by BPMs (11 m apart) is limited • bigger lever arm (> 100 m) • additional “active” detector is very difficult / expensive • Short Baseline Detector • Rejected (cost, t-appearance) SBL Detector E. Gschwendtner, CERN

  22. Summary • CNGS is on time • First beam in May 2006 • Complete and redundant beam instrumentation • Direction • Intensities E. Gschwendtner, CERN
