NNN2011 � What do we want and what helps? We want 1 MW sources of protons with energy of 800 MeV for a reasonable price What are the factors that are going to help us? Ø No fancy beam structure – Continuous source (CW) is fine run 100 ms on and 400 ms off for CP violation running longer periods may be fine for short baseline Ø No need to inject into another accelerator Ø Constant energy -- no need for an energy upgrade path Unlike Project-X or SNS, which need all of the above 5/31 Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla, NNN11, Zurich, Switzerland, 9 th November, 2011

NNN2011 � Working Examples u The ion source: prototype built at Catania u The injector cyclotron: modest modification to off-shelf model from, e.g., BEST Cyclotron Systems Inc. u The main cyclotron: smaller, simpler version of Riken (Japan) u The extraction foils: well tested at many cyclotron facilities, including PSI and TRIUMF u The target/dumps: At present we have multiple extraction lines but can be avoided by spreading beam Now, we need to optimize all the above components 10/31 Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla, NNN11, Zurich, Switzerland, 9 th November, 2011

NNN2011 � Current Progress and Future Plans Ø We have a 1st generation design Ø We have a prototype ion source, which produced 20 mA immediately Ø The large magnet specifications are nearly complete, and we expect to go to engineers for first costing within 2 months. This will help us to estimate the cost Ø We have first funding from NSF for our development experiments 11/31 Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla, NNN11, Zurich, Switzerland, 9 th November, 2011
