Beta Beam Concepts and R&D Outline Beta Beam Concepts and Options The EURISOL Beta Beam Scenario Ion Production Loss Management Improvements Continuation Beta Beam Concepts and R&D 2

Beta Beam Concepts and R&D Beta-beam principle Aim: production of (anti-)neutrino beams from the beta decay of radio-active ions circulating in a storage ring Similar concept to the neutrino factory, but parent particle is a beta-active isotope instead of a muon. Beta-decay at rest n-spectrum well known from electron spectrum Reaction energy Q typically of a few MeV Accelerated parent ion to relativistic gmax Boosted neutrino energy spectrum: En  2gQ Forward focusing of neutrinos:   1/g Pure electron (anti-)neutrino beam! NB: Depending on b+- or b- - decay we get a neutrino or anti-neutrino Two (or more) different parent ions for neutrino and anti-neutrino beams Physics applications of a beta-beam Primarily neutrino oscillation physics and CP-violation Cross-sections of neutrino-nucleus interaction E0 g=100 Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Beta Beam Concepts and R&D The beta-beam options Baselines, L (Distance from production to detector) Short ≤ 300 km (Genuine CP asymmetry measurements) Medium Long ~ 7500 (Matter effects) Neutrino energy and angle Sets optimal L and flux in detector Interacting nm in detector Merit factor M ~ g / E0 ; Long Baselines Higher g (needs more decays) or higher ion Q The Electron capture beta-beam Monochromatic neutrino beam (interest expressed in recent paper by J. Barnabéu and C. Espinosa: arXiv:0712.1034[hep-ph]) Ion choice limited: life time, Q-value, b+ & b- Beta Beam Concepts and R&D 4

Neutrino Source Decay Ring Beam preparation ECR pulsed Ion acceleration Linac, 0.4 GeV 93 GeV PS Acceleration to medium energy RCS, 1.5 GeV . 8.7 GeV Detector in the Frejus tunnel Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Beta Beam Concepts and R&D The EURISOL scenario Based on CERN boundaries Ion choice: 6He and 18Ne Based on existing technology and machines Ion production through ISOL technique Bunching and first acceleration: ECR, linac Rapid cycling synchrotron Use of existing machines: PS and SPS Relativistic gamma=100/100 SPS allows maximum of 150 (6He) or 250 (18Ne) Gamma choice optimized for physics reach Opportunity to share a Mton Water Cherenkov detector with a CERN super-beam, proton decay studies and a neutrino observatory Achieve an annual neutrino rate of 2.9*1018 anti-neutrinos from 6He 1.1 1018 neutrinos from 18Ne The EURISOL scenario will serve as reference for further studies and developments: Within EuroNu we will study 8Li and 8B EURISOL scenario top-down approach Beta Beam Concepts and R&D 6 6

Options for production ISOL method at 1-2 GeV (200 kW) >1 1013 6He per second <8 1011 18Ne per second Studied within EURISOL Direct production >1 1013 (?) 6He per second 1 1013 18Ne per second Studied at LLN, Soreq, WI and GANIL Production ring 1014 (?) 8Li >1013 (?) 8B Will be studied Within EUROn Aimed: He 2.9 1018 (2.0 1013/s) Ne 1.1 1018 (2.0 1013/s) N.B. Nuclear Physics has limited interest in those elements→ Production Rates not pushed! Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Beta Beam Concepts and R&D 6He (ISOL) Converter technology: (J. Nolen, NPA 701 (2002) 312c) T. Stora, N. Thollieres, CERN Converter technology preferred to direct irradiation (heat transfer and efficient cooling allows higher power compared to insulating BeO). 6He production rate is ~2x1013 ions/s (dc) for ~200 kW on target. Projected values, known x-sections! Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

18Ne (Direct Production) Geometric scaling Producing 1013 18Ne could be possible with a beam power (at low energy) of 2 MW (or some 130 mA 3He beam on MgO). To keep the power density similar to LLN (today) the target has to be 60 cm in diameter. To be studied: Extraction efficiency Optimum energy Cooling of target unit High intensity and low energy ion linac High intensity ion source Thin MgO target Water cooled target holder and beam dump Ion beam S. Mitrofanov and M. Loislet at CRC, Belgium Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Beta Beam Concepts and R&D 6He (Two Stage ISOL) Studied 9Be(n,α)6He, 11B(n,a)8Li and 9Be(n,2n)8Be production For a 2 mA, 40 MeV deuteron beam, the upper limit for the 6He production rate via the two stage targets setup is ~6∙1013 atoms per second.

New approaches for ion production “Beam cooling with ionisation losses” – C. Rubbia, A Ferrari, Y. Kadi and V. Vlachoudis in NIM A 568 (2006) 475–487 “Development of FFAG accelerators and their applications for intense secondary particle production”, Y. Mori, NIM A562(2006)591 7Li(d,p)8Li 6Li(3He,n)8B 7Li 6Li From C. Rubbia, et al. in NIM A 568 (2006) 475–487 Will be studied in Euronu FP7 Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

The production ring concept: review Low-energy Ionization cooling of ions for Beta Beam sources – D. Neuffer (FERMILAB-FN-0808-APC) Mixing of longitudinal and horizontal motion necessary Less cooling than predicted Beam larger but that relaxes space charge issues If collection done with separator after target, a Li curtain target with 3He and Deuteron beam would be preferable Separation larger in rigidity Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Challenge: collection device A large proportion of beam particles (6Li) will be scattered into the collection device. The scattered primary beam intensity could be up to a factor of 100 larger than the RI intensity for 5-13 degree using a Rutherford scattering approximation for the scattered primary beam particles (M. Loislet, UCL) The 8B ions are produced in a cone of 13 degree with 20 MeV 6Li ions with an energy of 12 MeV±4 MeV (33% !). 8B-ions Rutherford scattered particles Collection off axis (Wien Filter) 8B-ions Collection on axis Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Work on Radiation Issues Radiation safety for staff making interventions and maintenance at the target, bunching stage, accelerators and decay ring 88% of 18Ne and 75% of 6He ions are lost between source and injection into the Decay Ring Detailed studies on RCS (manageable) PS preliminary results available (heavily activated, 1 s flat bottom) SPS and Decay Ring ongoing Safe collimation of “lost” ions during stacking ongoing ~1 MJ beam energy/cycle injected, equivalent ion number to be removed, ~25 W/m average Magnet protection (PS and Decay Ring manageable) Dynamic vacuum ongoing First study (Magistris and Silari, 2002) shows that Tritium and Sodium production in the ground water around the decay needs to be studied (when site known) Beta Beam Concepts and R&D, Elena Wildner

Neutrino flux from a beta-beam EURISOL beta-beam study Aiming for 1018 (anti-) neutrinos per year Can it be increased to1019 (anti-) neutrinos per year? This can only be clarified by detailed and site specific studies of: Production & accumulation Bunching in decay ring Radiation protection issues Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Stacking efficiency and low duty factor He Ne For 15 effective stacking cycles, 54% of ultimate intensity is reached for 6He and for 20 stacking cycles 26% is reached for 18Ne Detector Background suppression Change n - energy Compensate with increased production rates… Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Benefit from an accumulation ring Left: Cycle without accumulation Right: Cycle with accumulation. Note that we always produce ions in this case! Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

The beta-beam in EURONU DS (I) The study will focus on production issues for 8Li and 8B 8B is highly reactive and has never been produced as an ISOL beam Production ring: enhanced direct production Ring lattice design Cooling Collection of the produced ions (UCL, INFN, ANL), release efficiencies and cross sections for the reactions Sources ECR (LPSC, GHMFL) Supersonic Gas injector (PPPL) Parallel studies Multiple Charge State Linacs (P Ostroumov, ANL) Intensity limitations Beta Beam Concepts and R&D

Improvements of the EURISOL beta-beam Increase production, improve bunching efficiency, accelerate more than one charge state and shorten acceleration Improves performance linearly Accumulation Improves to saturation Improve the stacking: sacrifice duty factor, add cooling or increase longitudinal bunch size Magnet R&D: shorter arcs, open midplane for transparency to decay Beta Beam Concepts and R&D
