TJR 7/30/032 MICE Beam Layout and Tune Layout from “LAYOUT-MICE 14May03” –Bend 1 is 60°, Bend 2 is 32° –Target to Diffuser1 is 18.8 m Quad (Type IV) and Bending Magnet (Type I) parameters are from RAL drawings and tables. Fringe fields for Bending Magnets were computed via Laplace’s equation; quads are ideal (no fringe fields). Bend 1 is tuned for 300 MeV/c pions Bend 2 is tuned for 200 MeV/c muons Quads are tuned for maximum mu/pi ratio at Diffuser1 (using minuit) – the triplet is configured DFD (~20% better than FDF) Quad tuning gives ~60 times better mu/pi than reported in New York

TJR 7/30/033 Input Beam Pi+ beam 200 MeV/c < P < 400 MeV/c (uniform) dxdz and dydz generated to cover Q1 aperture (uniform) Target is 10 mm high, 10*cos(25°) mm wide (uniform) All materials kill tracks instantly, without secondaries Absolute normalization to the proton beam is needed, as is the proton background, and the other backgrounds.

TJR 7/30/037 Summary The major correlations in the beam should be removable by the diffusers More tunes should be explored (e.g. Bend1 tuned to 350 MeV/c and 400 MeV/c) We need absolute normalization to the proton beam We need to understand the beam backgrounds
