Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility LBNF News and brief overview of Beamline plans for the next few months Vaia Papadimitriou Beamline Technical Board Meeting April 1, 2016
LBNF News Waiting for CD3-A for the Far Site Still limited funding for the Beamline in FY16; Preliminary Design to start in FY18; Have planned for a ramp up in the second half of FY17. In the mean time the scientific collaboration would like to try and implement at day one (if possible) a re- optimized design for better physics reach (similar to where we were in 2012 before the reconfiguration which forced us to reduce costs). Why we can possibly achieve it this time? Additional scientific and engineering effort and more monetary resources Vaia Papadimitriou | News and Plans
LBNF Scope of re-optimization to improve physics reach Target (longer) Horns (three) with different shapes and higher currents than NuMI Integration/mounting of target into horn, baffle mounting, etc. Horn support modules (three) Horn power supply (ies) Remote handling (casks, morgue capacity analysis, workcell,..) Absorber (same footprint or changed footprint, possibly simplified) Developing the alternative option of gas in target chase as discussed in CD-1R (technical alternative) Associated Modeling Associated Radiation Protection Associated Conventional Facilities Additional Management Vaia Papadimitriou | News and Plans
LBNF News Effort plan to achieve new conceptual design by FY18: in document 1098: ~ $ 2M, ~ 10.4 FTE out of which 6 FTE in engineer/designer Message from Elaine McCluskey on March 22, 2016 related to Beamline re-optimization: Vaia Papadimitriou | News and Plans
LBNF Today’s Goal Our default design points to an air-filled/air-cooled target chase, a helium filled decay pipe which is currently air-cooled but considering making it nitrogen cooled, and a beam window separating the chase from the decay pipe. Among the high level priorities for FY16: Complete corrosion effort Complete air releases work for a longer/wider target chase as decided Today’s goal is to discuss the latest corrosion results and the plan forward with these studies Vaia Papadimitriou | News and Plans
LBNF Target Hall/Decay Pipe Layout 6 DECAY PIPE SNOUT DECAY PIPE UPSTREAM WINDOW WORK CELL 50 TON CRANE Decay Pipe: 194 m long, 4 m in diameter, double – wall carbon steel, helium filled, air-cooled. Target Chase: 2.2 m/2.0 m wide, 34.3 m long air- filled and air & water-cooled (cooling panels). Sufficiently big to fit in alternative target/horns. Cooling panels Beam 5.6 m Vaia Papadimitriou | News & Plans ~ 40% of beam power in target chase ~ 30% of beam power in decay pipe Main alternatives for gas atmosphere: N 2 or He
