Description

Meson factories are powerful drivers of diverse physics programs and play a major role in particle physics at the intensity frontiers.

Currently, PSI delivers the most intense continuous muon beam in the world up to 10^8 μ+/s. The High-Intensity Muon Beam (HiMB) project at PSI aims to develop new muon beamlines that deliver up to 10^10 μ+/s, with a huge impact for low energy muon-based searches.

While the next generation of proton drivers with beam powers over the current limit of 1.4 MW still requires significant research, HiMB focuses on optimizing existing target stations and beamlines.

We will present the results after the installation of the new production target, confirming the MC predictions, that putting it in perspective would be equivalent to a proton beam power of almost 2 MW. We will report on the design of beamline optics based on pure solenoid elements for the secondary beamlines, together with new high-brightness tertiary beamlines.
