• Intense, Intense, Intense, ….Intense, Intense, Intense, ….– Very far detector, extremely small cross section, search small

osci. probability– High proton beam power– High efficiency pion collection with Horns

• Fast (Time structure)Fast (Time structure)– Background in detector: Cosmic rays, atm (~8/day @SK)– Discriminate by timing info.

• Long term stable operation and maintenanceLong term stable operation and maintenance

Fast extraction from accelerator

• Single turn fast extraction　（ JAPRC　 Phase-1): – 3.3x1014 protons in 8 bunches in ~4s (3.5sec period)

• 15bunch operation also being discussed to recover beam power– 4s/3.5s~10-6 BG reduction– 2.6MJ/pulse(3.5 sec period)

• Huge power inHuge power in short time short time– Thermal shock problem everywhere (+cooling problem)

• Time scale ~ sound velocity ~ s each bunch cumulative makes components design difficult– cf. [hadron facility]x106 (slow ext) , [3GeV facility]x102 (50GeV/3GeVx8/1bunch)

Production Mechanism

• Beta-beam proposal by Piero Zucchelli.– A novel concept for a neutrino factory: the beta-beam, Phys. Let. B, 532 (2002) 166-172.

• AIM: production of a pure beam of electron neutrinos (or antineutrinos) through the beta-decay of radioactive ions circulating in a high-energy storage ring.

• Baseline scenario.– Based on known technology and machines.– Makes maximum use of the existing CERN infrastructure. ~100 6He or 18Ne ions.– Annual rate of 2.91018 antineutrinos or 1.11018 neutrinos.

RCS PS SPS Decay ring

• Cooling is not an option. Electron cooling is excluded because of the high electron beam energy and, in any case, the cooling time is far too long. Stochastic cooling is excluded by the high bunch intensities.

Beam loss• Machine activation due to beta-decay losses alone is not a sho

w-stopper but still deserves careful consideration. Will be comparable with NOMAD-CNGS operation.

Radiation on Super conducting ring Space charge problem and RF system

22

Conclusions• Beta-beam baseline scenario is well established.• Main technical challenges rest firmly with the decay ring, with t

he focus of attention on rf and collimation systems.

　　 radioactivity and scraping may give background • Accelerator design is made “top-down” so that machine perform

ance is compatible with target figures from physics, while the production side is studied within EURISOL.– Stop press: preliminary measurements at Louvain-La-Neuve

indicate that direct production of 18Ne by 3He on a 16O target could reach the required rate.

• Beta-beam task well integrated in the EURISOL DS: excellent example of synergy between nuclear and high-energy physics.

23

Neutrino Factory

The goal of a neutrino factory is to provide a source of neutrino and anti-neutrino beams that are intense, energetic, and well understood. The specific idea is to construct a muon storage ring with long straight sections and use ’s from decays..There are many technical challenges. Some of the most imp

ortant ones are:1. Design of target for high power beams (few Mw)2. Cooling of muons (initial PT ~ 300 MeV)3. Rapid acceleration of muons (from ~100 MeV to tens of GeV)4. Construction of steep beam lines (tens of degrees)

24

Golden Signature

The transition e -> is detected by observation of the“wrong sign” muon. Should be relatively backgroundfree. Need a detector with magnetic field.
