Fermilab Accelerator R&D towards Precision Neutrino and Muon Experiments

by Swapan Chattopadhyay (Visiting senior Scientific Associate, CERN Joint Appointee, Director’s Senior Leadership Team, Fermilab (USA) Distinguished Professor and Director of Accelerator Research, NIU (USA) Director Emeritus, Cockcroft Institute, UK)

Thursday 23 Jul 2015, 14:15 → 15:30 Europe/Zurich

30/7-018 - Kjell Johnsen Auditorium (CERN)

I will present the current plans for high intensity proton accelerator development at Fermilab – both PIP-II accelerator complex as a driver in the near term towards the  long-baseline neutrino experiment DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) as well as research and development on IOTA (Integrable Optics Test Accelerator) as a test storage ring to enable  future “smart booster” developments to go beyond PIP-II for multi-Megawatt proton beams for even higher intensity long baseline neutrinos. At the foundation are the basic understanding of various intensity limitations e.g. particle loss and beam instabilities as well as fundamentals of  accelerators based upon integrable and near-integrable nonlinear dynamics and advanced phase-space control techniques. We will also touch upon two major precision experiments on the horizon in near future using muons: the “g-2” experiment to explore the anomalous magnetic moment of muons and the “Mu-2-e” experiment for exotic decays of muons, both experiments having implications beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
