The Neutrino Factory
• Goal: To fire a focussed beam of neutrinos through the interior of the Earth– What’s the point?
• Constrains post-Standard Model physics– But why does this involve muons?
• Neutrinos appear only as decay products• Decaying an intense, high-speed beam of
muons produces collimated neutrinos

Design Challenges
• Must accelerate muons quickly, before they decay– Conventional synchrotrons cycle too slow– Once is high, you have a little more time
• High emittance of pions from the target– Use an accelerator with a really big aperture?– Or try beam cooling (emittance reduction)– In reality, do some of both

Muon Front End Components
• Targetry, produces pions (±)• Pion to muon decay channel
– Uses a series of wide-bore solenoids• “Phase rotation” systems
– Outside scope of this talk• Muon ionisation cooling (as in “MICE”)
– Expensive components, re-use in cooling ring• Muon acceleration (RLAs vs. FFAGs)

The Decay Channel
• Has to deal with the “beam” coming from the pion source

The Decay Channel
• Has to deal with the “beam” coming from the pion source
• Pion half-life is 18ns or 12m at 200MeV– So make the decay channel about 30m long
• Grahame Rees designed an initial version– Used S/C solenoids to get a large aperture
and high field (3T mostly, 20T around target)• Needed a better tracking code…

The Decay Channel (ctd.)
• Developed a more accurate code, Muon1• Used it to validate Grahame’s design…
– 3.1% of the pions/muons were captured• …and parameter search for the optimum
– Within constraints: <4T field, >0.5m drifts, etc. – Increased transmission to 9.6%
• Increased in the older code (PARMILA) too– Fixed a problem in the original design!

UKNF Research Efforts
• MICE at RAL (phase I~2007; II~2009-10)• FFAG electron model at Daresbury
– Under definition!• Target shock studies program• Beamline design and optimisation work
– Myself, Grahame (+ new recruit soon)– Network with European “BENE” collaboration

Muon Acceleration Options
• Accelerators must have a large aperture• Few turns (or linear) in low energy part, so
muons don’t decay• Recirculating Linacs (RLAs, studied first)• FFAGs (cyclotron-like devices)
– Grahame is playing with isochronous ones

Why did it make all the solenoid fields have the same sign?
• Original design had alternating (FODO) solenoids• Optimiser independently chose a FOFO lattice• Has to do with the stability of off-energy particles
