  2. EURISOL Scenario EURISOL scenario Aim: production of (anti-)neutrino beams from the beta decay of radio-active ions circulating in a storage ring • Similar concept to the neutrino factory, but parent particle is a beta-active isotope instead of a muon. • Accelerate parent ion to relativistic gmax • Boosted neutrino energy spectrum: En2gQ • Forward focusing of neutrinos: 1/g EURISOL scenario • Ion choice: 6He and 18Ne • Based on existing technology and machines • Study of a beta-beam implementation at CERN • Once we have thoroughly studied the EURISOL scenario, we can “easily” extrapolate to other cases. EURISOL study could serve as a reference. • Ions move almost at the speed of light Neutrino detector Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner

  11. Heat Deposition Calculations Need to interface beam code and code for tracking particles in matter Choice: Beam Code: ACCIM (Developed at TRIUMF, many options developed specifically for the decay simulations, responsible Frederick Jones, TRIUMF) Particle Tracking in Matter: FLUKA "FLUKA: a multi-particle transport code",A. Fasso`, A. Ferrari, J. Ranft, and P.R. Sala,CERN-2005-10 (2005), INFN/TC_05/11, SLAC-R-773 "The physics models of FLUKA: status and recent developments",A. Fasso`, A. Ferrari, S. Roesler, P.R. Sala, G. Battistoni, F. Cerutti, E. Gadioli, M.V. Garzelli, F. Ballarini, A. Ottolenghi, A. Empl and J. Ranft,Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics 2003 Conference (CHEP2003), La Jolla, CA, USA, March 24-28, 2003 Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner 11

  12. The beam code ACCSIM • Accsim, developed at TRIUMF, is a multiparticle tracking and simulation code for synchrotrons and storage rings. • Some applications: CERN (S)PS(B), KEK PS, J-PARC, SNS, ... • Incorporates simulation tools for injection, orbit manipulations, rf programs, foil, target & collimator interactions, longitudinal and transverse space charge, loss detection and accounting. • Interest for Betabeam: to provide a comprehensive model of decay ring operation including injection (orbit bumps, septum, rf bunch merging), space charge effects, and losses (100% !) • Needed developments for Betabeam: • Arbitrary ion species, decay, secondary ions. • More powerful and flexible aperture definitions (for absorbers) • Tracking of secondary ions off-momentum by >30% (unheard of in conventional fast-tracking codes) • Detection of ion losses: exactly where did the ion hit the wall? • -- a challenge for tracking with the usual ”element transfer maps” Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner

  13. Accsim and Fluka • Accsim as event generator for FLUKA • Identify “region of interest”: sequence of Accsim elements corresponding to the representative arc cell modeled in FLUKA. • Tracking 100000 macro-particles representing fully populated ring (9.66×1013He or 7.42×1013Ne), with decay. • Detect and record two types of events: • Ions that decayed upstream of the cell and have survived to enter the cell. • Ions that decay in the cell. • For each event the ion coordinates and reference data are recorded for use as source particles in FLUKA.

  15. Coordinate transformation ACCSIM/FLUKA and inverse We used Mathematica based on the survey options of ”BeamOptics” * to generate FLUKA Particle file Useful if ACCSIM could integrate the transformation code y ACCSIM x y FLUKA [cm] x [cm] * ”Beam Optics : a program for analytical beam optics” Autin, Bruno; Carli, Christian; D'Amico, Tommaso Eric; Gröbner, Oswald; Martini, Michel; Wildner, Elena; CERN-98-06 Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner

  16. Particle generation and treatment 1. ACCSIM tracks 6Li and 18F particle decaying in the ring up to cell entry 2. ACCSIM gives coordinates and momentum vectors of particles just decayed in cell 3. Particles escaping the vacuum pipe are treated by Fluka End of cell Decayed in cell Escaping Decayed in machine with absorbers inserted in ACCSIM Start of cell Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner

  17. Overall Power Deposition Normalized to a decay rate in cell: He: 5.37 109 decays/s Ne: 1.99 109 decays/s 6Li 18F • Compare to technical limits (10W/m) • not exceeding for either ion Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner

  18. Local Power Deposition Local power deposition concentrated around the mid plane. Limit for quench 4.3mW/cm3 (LHC cable data including margin) • Situation fine for 6Li • 18F: 12 mW/cm3 Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner

  19. Alternative solutions Open Mid Plane Magnet a better solution? Profit of work ongoing at CERN Use this model in simulations Introduce a “Beam Screen” Courtesy Erk Jensen, CERN Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner

  20. Conclusion and Future A protocol between the beam code Accsim and the material tracking code (FLUKA) has ben developed for the beta beam studies. ACCSIM to be used for the whole accelerator chain, for decay data production. Accsim now to be complemented with the packages made for model creation and for coordinate transformation (Accsim->FLUKA->Accsim) First results indicate that the deposited power is exceeding the limits locally, but not globally. Optimisation or another magnet design needed. The structure with absorbers would need special arrangements for the impedance induced. A thick liner inside the dipole could be an alternative Alternative dipole design with VERY large aperture or open mid-plane (new development, ongoing). Apply simulation tools for momentum collimation. Beta Beam - Loss Deposition, EURONS/EURISOL, E.Wildner
