Neutrino Factory: physics case Neutrino oscillations – established exptly
Implications for particle physics: Neutrino mass > 0 CP violation in the lepton sector?
Impact on astrophysics and cosmology: Origin of matter (leptogenesis) Dark matter
Require dedicated exptl programme to: Search for leptonic-CP violation Precisely measure parameters

The vision: neutrino physics
Prepare for era of precision neutrino physics
Worldwide consensus:
Neutrino Factory physics programme is:
Of fundamental importance
Complementary to that of LHC and LC
Neutrino Factory is the tool of choice
Therefore likely that it will be built. So:
![Page 12: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The vision: UKNF proposal 2003 Programme of accelerator R&D that will:
Give the UK ownership of the key technologies: Proton driver front end Targetry Ionisation cooling
Conceptual design of complete facility: Embed results of hardware R&D Optimise entire complex
This will position UK to : Position UK to play lead role Possibly also to bid to host the facility

Why interest in front end?
Front end of machine is where
currents and duty cycles are set for whole machine
beam quality is set for whole machine
UKNF: 4 MW — Front end must be good!
Multi-megawatt proton accelerators are new
Neutrino factories
Neutron sources, transmutation,tritium, energy, etc.
1 W/m loss max., ~10—7 loss per metre
Strong overlap
![Page 17: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Neutrino factory proton driver:
Ion source (65 mA)
LEBT (low energy beam transport)
RFQ (75 keV 2.5 MeV, 280 MHz)
Chopper (typically ~30% chopped out)
DTL (2.5 MeV 180 MeV, 280 MHz)
Achromat
Synchrotrons
Front end must be good, so need a front end test stand to make sure!
Front end
![Page 18: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ion source: H—, 65 mA, 400 µs
2 × 2 × world’s leading H— source — ISIS
Existing negative ion source development programme at RAL for HPPAs in general
ASTeC
EU (network HPRI-CT-2001-50021)
This ion source programme a benefit to UKNF front end test stand programme
![Page 19: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ion Source Development Rig at RAL
![Page 20: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
LEBT and RFQ
Low energy beam transport
Matches 65 mA from ion source to RFQ
RFQ
4-rod, 75 keV 2.5 MeV, 280 MHz
These less of a problem
Can base on experience of LEBT and RFQ for ISIS and outline designs for ESS
More a matter of implementation than R&D
But ~1–2 MW RF driver required for RFQ
![Page 21: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
UKNF RFQ will be ×3 longer and in square section vessel
![Page 22: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Beam loss
Why chopper?
Ion source Linac Ring
Bunching
Also to minimise RF transients and control beam intensity
>10 × ISIS
![Page 23: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
No beam loss
Ion source Linac Ring
Bunching
With chopper — gaps in beam

1. Mercury Jets (USA and CERN)
2. Contained Flowing Mercury
3. Granulated Targets (CERN)
4. Solid targets (USA and RAL)
5. Solid Rotating Ring (USA and RAL)
• The mercury jets have had most development
• All schemes have advantages and disadvantages

expanding until:
the target expands by Δd

Shock, Pulse Length and Target Size
If a target is heated uniformly and slowly – there is no shock!
Or,
when the pulse length t is long compared to the time taken for the wave to travel across the target – no shock effect!
So,
if we make the target small compared to the pulse length there is no shock problem.
For the case of the neutrino factory target:
Assume t = 2 s, V = 3.3x105 cm s-1 , then d = 0.7 cm
Energy density is the key parameter
![Page 42: Proposal for a programme of Neutrino Factory R&D Introduction Bath, RMCS Shrivenham, Daresbury, Glasgow, Liverpool, Imperial College, Oxford, RAL, QMUL,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae4d3550346f70d8b480c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Proposed R&D1.Calculate the energy deposition, radio-activity for
the target, solenoid magnet and beam dump. Calculate the pion production (using results from HARP experiment)
and calculate trajectories through the solenoid magnet.
2. Model the shock a) Measure properties of tantalum at 2300 K b) Model using hydrocodes developed for explosive applications at LANL, LLNL, AWE
etc. c) Model using dynamic codes developed by ANSYS

Proposed R&D, continued
3. Radiation cooled rotating toroida) Calculate levitation drive and stabilisation systemb) Build a model of the levitation system
4. Individual bars a) Calculate mechanics of the system b) Model system
5. Continue electron beam tests on thin foils, improving the vacuum
6. In-beam test at ISOLDE - 106 pulses
7. In-beam tests at ISIS – 109 pulses
8. Design target station

Solid bar targetNeed to dissipate the heat:
a) water cooling difficult – “dilutes” target
b) radiation cooling not possible
c) need moving target – multiple targets
