The High Intensity Frontier Franco Cervelli INFN-Pisa 7 Nov, 2005
Historically, many fundamental discoveries and measurements have come from accelerators which were not the highest energy machine available at the time: • • weak neutral currents at the CERN PS • J/y at the AGS (Brookhaven) • limits on the lepton-number conservation • most of the parameters of CP violation • etc.

Design Goals • 4-5 MW beam power on target • Very short pulse duration (~1 ns rms) • Very low beam loss (~10-4) • Note: most proton drivers under study are based on synchrotrons (US, JKJ, UK)
European Scenarios • SPL + accumulator and compressor rings • 5 GeV, 50 Hz synchrotron-based system • 15 GeV, 25 Hz synchrotron-based system • 30 GeV, 8 Hz slow cycling synchrotron • 8 GeV, 16.67 Hz rapid cycling synchrotron for ISIS/Fermilab, plus upgrades
Synchrotron-based Proton Drivers • Low energy linac (~150 MeV) • Booster synchrotrons to accumulate proton beam and perform some acceleration • Main synchrotrons to complete acceleration and compress the bunches.
Proton Driver Figure of Merit • For a given power (4MW), target peak proton power density ~ 1/(Kinetic energy T x frequency f). F=Tf is a useful figure of merit.
