Beam dynamics study for the Muon Campus at Fermilab Diktys Stratakis Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Physics with muons beyond g-2 and Mu2e, Fermilab, Batavia, IL May 03, 2016 1

Outline • Overview of the Fermilab Muon Campus • Simulation model & results – Target and M2-M3 beamlines – Delivery ring – M4-M5 beamlines • Delivery ring for neutrino research • Conclusion & Future work 2

Muon Campus overview After a few turns all π + convert to μ + Protons separate and are removed 3.1 GeV 8.89 GeV p secondaries ( π , beam impacts μ + are extracted μ , p) travel the target from the ring and along M2 & M3 μ + enter the g-2 transferred into the storage ring storage ring via M4, M5 3

Challenges • Beam requirements at the g-2 ring entrance: – At least 7x10 -7 muons per POT within ±2% ∆𝑞/𝑞 – Maintain an average polarization 90% or better • At the same time, the beamlines have bends, elevation changes, complex injection and extraction schemes: – Can cause severe particle loss – Trigger spin correlations that could increase systematic error • At the same time most beamlines need to be compatible with the Mu2e experiment 4

Approach • The aim of this work is to deliver an end-to-end simulation for g-2 so that the above issues can be addressed • To achieve this we have developed simulation models for different parts of the lines – Targetry: MARS & GEANT4 – Beamline optics: MADX – Beam and spin tracking: BMAD, GEANT4, G4Beamline • Validated our results against: – Theoretical models – Independent simulation codes 5

Secondary beam transport lines M2 T G4BL model M2 Switch M3 M3 DR • M2 & M3 lines will carry the secondary beam from the target (T) to the delivery ring (DR) • Loop four times until μ + yield peaks and all p are removed 7

Performance along the DR • After 4 turns near 90% of muons are transmitted towards the extraction line 12

Delivery ring & M4/M5 lines G4BL model DR M4 M5 g-2 storage ring • Near magic momentum μ + are extracted into the M4 line and bent into M5 for transport to the g-2 storage ring 13

New projects • Potential of using Muon Campus for neutrino research Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) will be one of It is a long the neutrino path of sector 10 three liquid argon neutrino detectors sitting in the of the Muon campus delivery ring Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab as part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program. Collaboration with: J. Grange (ANL), J. Zennamo (UChicago) and Z. Pavlovic (FNAL) 19

Neutrino Detector • Three virtual detectors are placed at the end of straight sections 10, 30, and 50. Results for turn 1 only. 20

Straight 30 • At straight 30 the number of – ν 𝜈 is 6x10 -7 per POT ν 𝑓 is 10 -9 per POT – 21

Straight 10 • At end of straight 10 the number of: – ν 𝜈 is 1.3x10 -7 per POT ν 𝑓 is 10 -9 per POT – 22
