CERN Super-Beam (SPL)

This document discusses the possible energy upgrade to 5 GeV for the CERN Super-Beam (SPL) and outlines the key findings from the BENE Midterm scientific report. It highlights the focus on infrastructure improvements, material analysis, and integration challenges. The text covers the development of new testing methodologies, cost considerations, and collaboration efforts with institutions such as BNL and Strasbourg. Various technical aspects, including the magnetic horn and target integration, are elaborated upon.

Presentation Transcript

  1. CERN Super-Beam(SPL)

  2. CERN Super-Beam (SPL) new very fresh document

  3. CERN Super-Beam (SPL) Possible energy upgrade to 5 GeV could be the subject of a 3rd CDR (CDR3)

  4. CERN Super-Beam (SPL) Also a lot of information inside the BENE Midterm scientific report

  5. 2 LoI's in BENE (CARE) CERN Strasbourg Collection system for future neutrino beamshorn and target integration

  6. CERN LoI • Improve existing infrastructure (at BA7) to allow realistic tests of a NuFact prototype horn at nominal conditions. Analysis of fatigue tests and possible corrective actions. • Investigation of the material structure of the existing Nufact horn (480 k€, available) with a 50 Hz power supply (300 kA, 5 kV, <100 ms). The investigation will be based on laser vibrometer (100 k€, available) measurements of the horn’s resonance frequencies and of their damping constants with increasing number of cycles. A mechanical analysis (mechanical engineers from Poland/Krakow via T. Kurtyka) should be derived to assess the fatigue of the system (horn and strip line) and its life time (expected to be few month of operations at nominal parameters). • Development of a test bench using the NuFact horn and the 50Hz power supply to validate multi-physics simulations in order to reduce the experimental working load and costs (collaboration with Strasbourg). • Address the integration issues of the horn. Complete the design of the existing horn including possibly the studies for a target station located in the inside. Investigate the cooling issues involved. (collaboration with BNL). • Target R&D • Horn and solid target integration total cost for the collector: 1.35 M€

  7. Power Supply for horn pulsing (major issue) values considered by CERN

  8. the power supply Due to the high price go to a modular system and increase small by small the current

  9. "Physics" studies to be restarted P (kW) corne 2 z (cm) energy deposition z (cm) corne
