23. IsoDAR: Neutrino Physics Using a High Current Cyclotron

Joseph Smolsky (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

31/07/2019, 16:00

Accelerators

Oral Presentation

Sterile neutrinos, hypothetical particles that do not interact through the weak force, have been proposed as an explanation for anomalies seen in short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Global data fits have constrained the allowed parameter space for sterile neutrinos but a definitive experiment is still needed. IsoDAR (Isotope Decay-At-Rest) will be able to cover the allowed...

363. A Beam-Based Production Target Monitor for the Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab

Accelerators

Oral Presentation

Mu2e is an experiment currently under construction at Fermilab, which will search for coherent neutrinoless conversion of muons to electrons in the presence of an atomic nucleus. In order to maximize the number of stopped muons for conversion, Mu2e must ensure optimal pion production in the production solenoid, by aligning the proton beam with the production target to within $\pm$ 0.5 mm....

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 few 10^8 μ+/s. The High Intensity Muon Beam (HiMB) project at PSI aims at developing new muon beam lines able to deliver up to 10^10 μ+/s. While next generation of proton drivers...

Oral Presentation

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) at RAL has collected extensive data to study the ionization cooling of muons. Several million individual particle tracks have been recorded passing through a series of focusing magnets in a number of different configurations and a liquid hydrogen or lithium hydride absorber. Measurement of the tracksupstream and downstream of the absorber has shown...

Accelerators

Oral Presentation

Mu*STAR is an accelerator-driven molten-salt subcritical reactor based on recent superconducting RF technological breakthroughs that allow a highly efficient and powerful proton accelerator to drive a spallation target inside a graphite-moderated, thermal-spectrum reactor. The additional spallation neutrons can be used to overcome the absorption of neutrons by fission products to allow a...

Oral Presentation

In the early 2000's, the US High Energy Physics community contributing to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) launched the LHC Accelerator R&D Program (LARP), a long-vision focused R&D program, intended contribute to a quick LHC commissioning and to bring the Nb3Sn and other technologies to a maturity level that would allow applications in HEP machines. Around 2015, the technologies developed by...

Oral Presentation

A recent assessment by US National Academies of Science concluded that the science questions that could be answered by a US-based electron-ion collider are significant to advancing our understanding of the atomic nuclei that make up all visible matter in the universe. JLEIC, a polarized electron-ion collider, was proposed and studied at Jefferson Lab for this QCD frontier, utilizing the...

449. Strong Hadron Cooling for the Electron Ion Collider

Dr Ferdinand Willeke (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

01/08/2019, 15:00

Accelerators

Oral Presentation

The anticipated peak and average luminosity of L = ${10}^{34}$ cm${}^{-2}$ s${}^{-1}$ of the Electron Ion Collider can be achieved with strong cooling of the hadron beam, as the emittance of the very bright beams is subject to rapid growth due to Intrabeam Scattering. The techniques which are envisioned to be applied and to stabilize the beam emittance range from bunched beam stochastic cooling,...

AWAKE is a plasma-based acceleration experiment aiming at accelerating electrons to multi GeV to multi-TeV energies with a gradient of around 1GeV/m. Such a high gradient and large energy gains are in principle possible by using relativistic proton bunches to drive wakefields in plasma. Proton bunches, such as those produced by the CERN SPS or LHC carry large amounts of energy, allowing for...
