2 Proton Driver and Muon beams  8GeV Linac can produce streams of 1.5× GeV protons at 10Hz  > protons/year  Only 1/15 of these needed for Main Injector  Are there muon beam experiments that could use this intensity ??  Tertiary muon beams:  P + X → π  π → μ + ν  μ/p → μ/year or more

9 Proton Beam requirements  MECO experiment  Requires pulses of ~8 GeV protons (<30ns long) every ~1μs (1.4μs) –Obtained by slow extraction of short bunches (in AGS)  Design requires 4  p/s, 1.5  captured μ’s/proton  ~6  μ/year from ~4  p/year  PRISM-PRIME experiment  Requires proton pulses (<10ns long) at 10 3 /s (~1ms) –4  p/s (50GeV) to μ’s/proton –Up to p/year, > μ/year  Single-turn extraction of short bunches (<10ns)  Both require pulsed beams, proton linac beam must be repackaged in an accumulator ring

10 Recycler as accumulator ring ?  8GeV Linac produces 1ms pulses at 10 Hz  H - injection into Recycler  1ms fills circumference –(100 turns)  Bunch beam into pattern required for expt.  Harmonic 10 buncher for MECO, slow extraction  Harmonic 100 buncher for PRIME, single bunch extraction CircumferenceC=2πR ave 3320m MomentumP8.89 GeV/c Rev. frequency, Period f0T0f0T kHz 11 μs Slip factorη=1/γ 2 - 1/γ t Tunesν x, ν y 25.4,24.4 But: Recycler circumference is large 100ms may be too short a time for bunching

11 Space Charge Difficulty  Space Charge tune shift:  Parameters: N tot =1.5  10 14,ε N =20π mm-mrad  MECO: 30ns/1μs : B F = 0.03 → δν = 4 : too large  Reduce N to 1.5  → δν = 0.4  Reduce N to 0.4  → δν = 0.1  PRISM/PRIME 10ns bunches, 100/ring  B F = 0.1 → δν =1.2: too large (but closer)  Larger ε N, smaller N tot,  Smaller circumference ring would be better

12 Recycler – Bunching (~for PRISM)  Harmonic 100 buncher (9MHz)  Bunch for 0.1s  (V rf ramps to 140kV)  Bunch lengths reduced to ~5ns rms (Prism wants < 10ns full width.)  Could then extract bunches one at a time over ~0.1s  Uses 1/2 the possible linac pulses (500 bunches/s for PRISM) (100 at 5Hz)

13 Recycler – Bunching for ~MECO  Harmonic 10 buncher (0.9MHz)  Barrierbucket rf  Bunch for ~1s  (V rf ramps to ~30kV)  Bunch lengths reduced to ~50ns rms (MECO wants ~30ns full width.)  Could then extract bunches in slow extraction over ~1s

14 Other potential proton storage schemes  Accumulator or Debuncher (C= ~454m) after 2010…  Large aperture machines  Difficult to inject H - (must bend beam from Linac) (B ~600m)  Could take debunched protons from Recycler or Main Injector(in ~450m chunks)  Or Old linac + Booster  Bunch into pattern needed for experiments  Bunching easier than Recycler  Better match for MECO

15 Detailed  source design does not exist Straw man design worked out for the front end of a factory supported by MARS simulations (Ray et al.) Target + capture solenoid + drift (forward capture) 1.4 x protons/year at 8 GeV yields ~3 x muons/year. Charged particle spectra at end of decay channel Generic High intensity muon beam
