Update on ACD for Project X Sergei Nagaitsev May 21, 2009
PrX Research Program Task Force • Formed recently; leader : R. Tschirhart • Motivation: the ICD does not provide beam to rare decay experiments directly, ends at the extraction kicker in the Recycler. • Charge: evaluate if and how the ICD and the ACDs can meet the research goals and recommend what R&D is necessary to refine the Project-X specifications required to drive the research program. • Report (draft) due in June, 2009. • Given: the 2-MW neutrino program in the MI • Question: what is the optimal Project X configuration for rare decay physics (at GeV energies) and for the multi-MW source for the future (muon) facilities.
Matrix of configurations • ICD: • 8-GeV pulsed linac, H- (multi-turn) injection into the Recycler • Proposed a scenario for the Mu2e experiment from the Acc/Debuncher; have not heard back from the Mu2e collaboration. • ACDs: • Pulsed linac to 2 GeV, synchrotron 2-8 GeV, single-turn injection into Recycler • CW linac to 2 GeV, pulsed linac 2-8 GeV, multi-turn injection into the Recycler • Rare-decay physics program at 2 GeV; fast extraction at 8 GeV • CW linac to 2 GeV, synchrotron 2-8 GeV, single-turn injection into Recycler • Rare-decay physics program at 2 GeV; fast extraction at 8 GeV • At present: costing the synchrotron. We already understand linac cost scaling with energy
