efficiency required to be > 99.99%.

when beam is off.

Beam Extinction

  • R. Ray - J-PARC Symposium

35

  • Mu2e has very stringent limits on the amount of beam that appears

between pulses. Require extinction factor of 10-10.

  • Required to eliminate prompt backgrounds
  • Re-bunching in the Recycler Ring provides an extinction factor of about

10-4.

  • Remainder must be provided by the Mu2e beamline.
slide-36
SLIDE 36

Beam Extinction

  • R. Ray - J-PARC Symposium

36

  • A magnet is used to deflect out-of-time beam into a downstream

collimator

  • Ideally, we would use a square pulse to kick out-of-time beam out of (or

in-time beam into) the transmission channel, but the 600 kHz bunch rate makes this impossible with present technology.

  • We will therefore focus on a system of resonant magnets or “AC Dipoles”.
slide-37
SLIDE 37
  • AC Dipole driven by two harmonics

– 300 kHz (half bunch frequency) to sweep out of time beam into collimators – 4.5 MHz (15th harmonic) to maximize transmission of in-time beam – Beam transmitted at nodes!

  • Higher harmonic optimized for maximum transmission: 99.5%

Extinction – Dual Harmonic Waveform

  • R. Ray - J-PARC Symposium

37

Single harmonic would hit collimator too soon
