MARS15-Based System for Beam Loss and Collimation Studies

The system includes the newest version of the MARS15 code for particle production and transport in accelerator components integrated with a novel highprecision tracker/stepper for multi-turn tracking merged with MAD-X. The overall approach is described with all the essential features and programming issues highlighted. The application is illustrated for the Fermilab Recycler Ring and Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) facilities as well as for the Higgs Factory muon collider and International $e^+e^−$ Linear Collider (ILC) projects.

Control of Beam Losses in the Front End for the Neutrino Factory

In the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider, muons are produced by firing high energy protons onto a target to produce pions. The pions decay to muons which are then accelerated. This method of pion production results in significant background from protons and electrons, which may result in heat deposition on superconducting materials and activation of the machine preventing manual handling. In this paper we discuss the design of a secondary particle handling system. The system comprises a solenoidal chicane that filters high momentum particles, followed by a proton absorber that reduces the energy of all particles, resulting in the rejection of low energy protons that pass through the solenoid chicane. We detail the design and optimization of the system and its integration with the rest of the muon front end.
