ESS H- acceleration for neutrinos The ESS Linac will be built for neutron spallation (proton acceleration 14 Hz) Duty factor low (4%); some additional capacity is available Repetition rate can be increased to 28 Hz, to permit an extra acceleration cycle Neutrino option: acceleration of 5 MW H- H- acceleration must not perturb the neutron facility Modifications (upgrades) of the Linac must permit the doubling of power (5 + 5) MW AND requirements for the pulse compression 13/03/14 3 H- ? ? ? ?

13/03/14 EUROnuSB Lund, E. Wildner 6 ESS Accumulator for neutrinos Constraints on present neutrino target focusing system – The secondary beam has to be focused – Today’s focusing systems require beam pulses shorter 3 ms (cooling, power supplies etc.) Solution: reduce beam pulse length – Compress the linac pulse in an accumulator – The accumulator size should correspond a pulse length on target < 10  s Accumulator constraints – Reasonably-sized accumulator ring – Multiturn injection of p with high intensities becomes inefficient – Too high intensities in the ring may cause collective effects and beam loss – ESS has interest in an an accumulator as well: Synergies?

13/03/14 EUROnuSB Lund, E. Wildner 7 Mitigate Difficulties with High Intensities Fraction the Linac pulse and stack the shorter pulses 1.In space: 4 accumulators, arXiv: v3 or 2.In time: several pulses pass consecutively one accumulator charge exchange injection to limit multiturn losses: use H - - ions – Needs an extra ion source (space for it!) – Merging into linac at optimal position (after MEBT?) – Intrabeam Stripping and Lorentz stripping need to be evaluated (linac) – Radiation – Etc. H- ? ? ? ?

13/03/14 EUROnuSB Lund, E. Wildner 8 4 Accumulators Technical design from EUROnu (2012) – 1 MW on each target, 4 targets – One accumulator – 2.5  s pulse length ESSnuSB – 1.25 MW on each target, 4 targets – Reasonable accumulator circumference of 430 m =>1.5  s pulse length – p would give SC of (round beam, 2.0 GeV, 100  mm mrad) – In each ring /4 => – In one ring: For protons in machine SC < – 0.2 (acceptable) – Cf SNS, C = 220 m, 200  mm mrad, protons, ….  Q=-0.3, Bf = 0.4 Bf N. Vassilopoulos

13/03/14 EUROnuSB Lund, E. Wildner 9 One accumulator 4 Accelerators for accumulation seem costly and not necessary – One accumulator could pulse 4 times with ¼ of the linac pulse length The injection bumper is too slow – Rise time for the PS Booster bumpers is10 ms (same for the fall time) We propose to make 4 linac pulses of length 2.86/4 ms (same beam power) – They would be injected sequentially into accumulator – Spaced using timing such that bumpers are comfortable – However a price has to be payed… NB: accumulation for ESS neutrons need H- but considerably longer pulses at extraction from accumulator: this is not forgotten but is less straight forward, needs more design work

Linac Pulsing 70 Hz, present baseline 13/03/14EUROnuSB Lund, E. Wildner ms 2.86 ms 28 Hz neutron neutrino 71.4 ms, 14 Hz ms 0.7 ms 71.4 ms, 14 Hz 70 Hz 2.86 ms Four Accumulators One Accumulator (baseline)

70 Hz linac pulsing 13/03/14EUROnuSB Lund, E. Wildner 11 Fill time of the superconducting cavities: For loaded Q, this is about 0.2 ms For two 3 ms beam pulses, this is 6.6% of the beam pulse length This corresponds to an inefficiency of 6.6% 4 pulses at 0.75 ms and one pulse of 3 ms: 5 x 0.2 ms = 1 ms filling time, 16.6% inefficiency (10% extra) Keep in mind: 4 rings are 4 times operation and maintenance cost, not less Can it be technically achieved (evaluation ongoing)? What about research on adapted cavity filling ? Foil heating in accumulator (see later) Communication D. Mc Ginnis

ESS stripping foil heating considerations I Table 1: ESS beam characteristics at injection 1.To keep constantly the foil temperature below 2500  K the pulse RMS spot size should be about 2 mm (x & y dir.) which needs betatron functions at accumulator ring injection close to 36m. 2.Protons and electrons in H - having the same velocity at foil entrance (same   &  ) the electron energy is then 1.09 MeV and its total stopping power is 1.61 MeV cm2/g.

ESS stripping foil heating considerations (3) 26/05/2012M. Martini ESSnuSB Meeting 26-27/5 22 Solution of the 3D heat equation with Mathematica for the ESS beam Fig. 1: Time evolution of the maximum carbon foil temperature at the pulse spot center derived from the 3D PDE (cont. line) and the simplified 1D ODE (dotted line). Both plots differ as the 1D model does not contain the heat conduction effect Fig. 2: Time evolution of the carbon foil temperature versus the foil height (y dir.). The temperature decreases quite rapidly along the y axis (as along the x axis) For the beam characteristics of Table 1, both figures show that the foil temperature modulation in the repetitive accumulator filling cycles is quasi stable after the second long cycle, each made of four ms injection pulses (repeated every ms) plus a ms gap (empty injection cycle). Fig. 1 shows that the maximum stripping foil temperature varies between 1032  K and 2072  K M.Martini, CERN
