Outline • A short reminder from Nufact03 • The RFOFO ring • Geometry • Software improvements • Simulation results • The small dipole ring • Geometry • Software improvements • Some Results A. Klier - Geant simulation
Muc_Geant • Modified, data-driven Geant3 application for simulating muon cooling • Electric fields added • Runge-Kutta changed to include changing electric fields (eg RF cavities) • Realistic magnetic fields can be read from external field maps A. Klier - Geant simulation
From Nuact03 Tetra ring simulated Rajendran Raja – Nufact 03 A. Klier - Geant simulation
The RFOFO ring • A few code changes w.r.t. Tetra • Realistic magnetic field maps read-in (R. Godang, S. Bracker – MC-Note 271) A. Klier - Geant simulation

The ring geometry • 33 m circumference • 12 cells (2.75m): • A wedge absorber • opening angle 110°, • pointing ’upwards’ • 6 RF cavities • 28.75 cm long, • iris radius 25 cm • flat E field in z direction • 2 tilted solenoids • inner/outer r = 77/88 cm • tilt angle ±3° • Only for display here A.

The small dipole ring “Weak” (edge) focusing (ideally) scaling Filled with ~10 Atm. hydrogen gas @ 77K Dipole field ~ 2 T For P~200 MeV/c, the radius should be ~60 cm A. Klier - Geant simulation

Software improvements • More flexibility – less “hard-coding”, more external parameters • Field map reading code used to be RFOFO-specific, now more general • More RF parameters • Cavities in small dipole ring are off-center • So far, only perfect pillbox (or flat field..) cavity are simulated • Flexibility: different frequencies, gradients, types can be used in the same channel A. Klier - Geant simulation
To do • Simulate the small dipole ring with a beam • Introduce more realistic features: • Injection • Detectors A. Klier - Geant simulation
