Introduction, contd. • Need a secondary particle handling system for a megawatt class solid C target – solenoidal chicane – followed by a proton absorber. • Challenges of optimization and integration of the system with the rest of the muon front end. • Main study tool – MARS, some analysis and validation by using ICOOL and G4beamline. • Start with the chicane, use the same technique downstream to study the the buncher and phase-rotator sections.

History: MARS simulations • ROOT-based geometry • 12.5° single bend, Z=0 corresponds to 19 m downstream of the target – consistent with RDR (IDS-NF). • W density reduced to 60% to take into account packing fraction for beads. 5

Reference: no shielding DPD peaks at 15.8 mW/g, that translates into 42.6 kW/m for Cu coils or 33.3 kW/m for SC coils. December 4, 2014 Pavel Snopok | MAP Winter Collaboration Meeting (SLAC, December 3-7, 2014) 6

Uniform 35 cm shielding Empty channel PD total, mW/g 7

Non-uniform 30 and 40 cm shielding Empty channel PD total, mW/g 8

Overall DPD per coil/segment Segmented coil analysis, total DPD, mW/g Average DPD per coil, mW/g In both cases red line corresponds to 0.1 mW/g SC limit 9

Current MARS simulations • New target parameters: – 8 GeV => 6.75 GeV – 4 MW => 1 MW – 3.125e15 protons/sec => 0.925e15 protons/sec – new particle distribution – need to re-run MARS • The hope is that the new parameters help reduce the amount of shielding required December 4, 2014 Pavel Snopok | MAP Winter Collaboration Meeting (SLAC, December 3-7, 2014) 10

Other codes • Can G4beamline or ICOOL be used for energy loss/ deposition calculations? • Back in 2010 I did a comparison of the two codes for IDR: ICOOL: proton 1 g4bl: proton 0.9 ICOOL: µ + and µ - Integrated losses per 8 GeV proton g4bl: µ + and µ - 0.8 ICOOL: π + and π - 0.7 g4bl: π + and π - ICOOL: e + and e - 0.6 g4bl: e + and e - 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 0 50 100 150 200 250 z [m] December 4, 2014 Pavel Snopok | MAP Winter Collaboration Meeting (SLAC, December 3-7, 2014) 15

Summary • Simulations of the new 1 MW graphite target are underway, first results presented. – power density > 0.1 mW/g only in a handful of cental coils, very low everywhere else; – definitely do not need 35 cm of tungsten. • Action item: implement a more sophisticated geometry (elliptical cross-section following the profile of the beam). – this will allow to significantly reduce the amount of W used for shielding. • MARS is the main tool, although G4beamline and ICOOL can also be used for some analyses.
