The Physics Motivations – an elementary charged lepton: –200 times heavier than the electron –2.2 s lifetime at rest Physics potential for the HEP community using muon beams –Tests of Lepton Flavor Violation –Anomalous magnetic moment hints of new physics (g-2) –Can provide equal fractions of electron and muon neutrinos at high intensity for studies of neutrino oscillations – the Neutrino Factory concept –Offers a large coupling to the “Higgs mechanism” –As with an e + e − collider, a + − collider would offer a precision probe of fundamental interactions – in contrast to hadron colliders April 14, 2013nuSTORM Proposal Workshop - Virginia Tech5

Muon Accelerator Physics Large muon mass strongly suppresses synchrotron radiation Muons can be accelerated and stored using rings at much higher energy than electrons Colliding beams can be of higher quality with reduced beamstrahlung Short muon lifetime has impacts as well –Acceleration and storage time of a muon beam is limited –Collider a new class of decay backgrounds must be dealt with –Precision beam energy measurement by g-2 allows precision Higgs width determination Muon beams produced as tertiary beams: –Offers key accelerator challenges… April 14, 2013nuSTORM Proposal Workshop - Virginia Tech6 Beamstrahlung in any e+e- collider E/E 2

6D Ionization Cooling Experiment 6D cooling bench test (component integration test): –Guggenheim channel cell (preferably, last stage with 805 MHz RF); –Helical Cooling Channel section (four coils with RF incorporated). Intensity test with protons: –Intense proton beam: 10 12 -10 13 particles per bunch; –Preferably near ionization minimum; –Options currently under consideration: 400 MeV proton beam at the MuCool Test Area; 2.5 MeV proton beam at ASTA; Booster proton beam. 6D cooling demonstration experiment: –Once the down-selection is made, the goal is to put together a section of the cooling channel of choice, long enough to demonstrate 6D cooling; –NuStorm facility can act as a muon source (~10 10 muons per bunch) for the 6D cooling demonstration without disrupting the NuStorm neutrino program. This makes NuStorm an attractive R&D platform in the Muon Accelerator Staging Scenario. April 14, 2013nuSTORM Proposal Workshop - Virginia Tech21

NuStorm as an R&D platform NuSTORM can produce a high-intensity pulsed low-energy muon source (10 10 muons in the band 100<p μ <300 MeV/c in 1 μ sec). This beam can be produced simultaneously with the neutrino physics program with little additional cost. This is possible due to the fact that an absorber is needed to absorb pions that remain (about 60% of those injected into the ring) after the first straight. Pions in the momentum range 5 GeV/c +/-10% are extracted to an absorber. After the first straight, there are also many muons in the same momentum window (forward decays) that will be extracted along with the pions. The absorber can be used as a degrader for these muons and produce the desired beam exiting the back end of the absorber. In addition, NuSTORM will present the opportunity to design, build and test decay ring instrumentation (BCT, momentum spectrometer, polarimeter) to measure and characterize the circulating muon flux.

Concluding Remarks… The unique feature of muon accelerators is the ability to provide cutting edge performance on both the Intensity and Energy Frontiers –This is well-matched to the direction specified by the P5 panel for Fermilab –The possibilities for a staged approach make this particularly appealing in a time of constrained budgets – STORM would represent a critical first step in providing a muon-based accelerator complex World leading Intensity Frontier performance could be provided with a Neutrino Factory based on Project X Phase II –This would also provide the necessary foundation for a return to the Energy Frontier with a muon collider on U.S. soil A Muon Collider Higgs Factory –Would provide exquisite energy resolution to directly measure the width of the Higgs. This capability would be of crucial importance in the MSSM doublet scenario. The first collider on the path to a multi-TeV Energy Frontier machine?
