IONIZATION COOLING
principle:
this will surely work..!
Difficulty: affordable prototype of cooling section only cools beam by 10%, while standard emittance measurements barely achieve this precision.Solution: measure the beam particle-by-particle
Cooling is necessary for Neutrino Factory and crucial for Muon Collider.Delicate technology and integration problem Need to build a realistic prototype and verify that it works (i.e. cools a beam)
Can it be built? Operate reliably? What performance can one get?
state-of-the-art particle physics instrumentation will test state-of-the-art accelerator technology.
reality (simplified)
….maybe…

10% cooling of 200 MeV/c muons requires ~ 20 MV of RF single particle measurements =>
measurement precision can be as good as out/ in ) = 10-3
never done before either…
6MUTAC meeting – 18-04-2007 Alain Blondel
Challenges of MICE: (these things have never been done before)
1. Operate RF cavities of relatively low frequency (201 MHz) at high gradient (nominal 8MV/m in MICE, 16 MV/m with 8 MW and LN2 cooled RF cavities)
in highly inhomogeneous magnetic fields (1-3 T) dark currents (can heat up LH2), breakdowns
2. Hydrogen safety (substantial amounts of LH2 in vicinity of RF cavities)
3. Emittance measurement to relative precision of 10-3 in environment of RF bkg
requires low mass (low multiple scattering) and precise tracker fast and redundant to fight dark-current-induced background precision Time-of-Flight for particle phase determination (±3.60 = 50
ps) complete set of PID detectors to eliminate beam pions and decay
electrons
and…
4. Obtaining (substantial) funding for R&D towards a facility that is not (yet) in the plans of a major lab
7MUTAC meeting – 18-04-2007 Alain Blondel
8MUTAC meeting – 18-04-2007 Alain Blondel
Design of MICE detectors and beam test results satisfy the above requirements
Requirements on detectors for MICE:
1. Must be sure to work on muons 1.a use a pion/muon decay channel with 5T, 5m long decay solenoid 1.b reject incoming pions and electrons TOF over 6m with 70 ps resolution+ threshold Cherenkov 1.c reject decays in flight of muons downstream PID (TOF2 + calorimeter set up)
2. Measure all 6 parameters of the muons x,y,t, x’, y’, z=E/Pz tracker in magnetic field, TOF
3. Resolution on above quantities must be better than 10% of rms of beam at equilibrium emittance to ensure correction is less than 1%. + resolution must be measured
4. Detectors must be robust against RF radiation and field emission

Preparing for PHASE I : software, analysis & DATA Challenge
1. Basic simulation and reconstruction of MICE is complete for the various stepsBoth G4MICE and MUCOOL are used. 2. Putting it all together to do analysis (particle reconstruction, particle ID algorithmsSingle particle amplitude and emittance calculations, etc…)
3. Data challenge launched in March 2007
4. Shortage of hands (general in MICE) is particularly felt here.
Example Bias on emittance due to muon decaysWould be ~0.5% (i.e. 5% error on cooling meast)Reduced to <<0.1%by PID+ trackerThis uses tracker & TOF info and PID signals +Neural Network

Run plan -- steps I and II
STEP I Aug.- Nov. 2007
STEP IIdec. 2007 to march 2008
Goal: Establish beam match andwhether we have all knobs necessary to draw emittance vs. transmission curve. Measure emittance
preliminary estimate
STEP I requires 60 shifts (20 days of running) beam line commissionning, target tuning (rates), DAQ and detector shake down
STEP II requires 150 shifts (50 days, will extend in 2008) Alignment of beam x,x’,y,y’, (Lack of) dispersion, check range of transverse emittance, and range of momentameasure emittance and… publish first paper
total for steps I & II: 70 days
Runnng time:Take 200-400 muons per 1ms spill once per secondIn steps I-IV 1% (0.1%) emittance meast will take <1 (<100) minute 10 times longer in steps V and VI where phase matters.

2. Preparing for phase II
LH2 Absorber (UK, US, Japan)
AFC module (UK)
RF R&D (Mucool-NFMCC)
RF power (LBNL+ CERN -> Daresbury lab RAL) Coupling Coils (LBNL-Harbin ICST)
SW calorimeter (GVA-FNAL-Trieste)
Main technological uncertainty towards PHASEII is MUCOOL RF R&D. This emphasizes the need for the MUCOOL coupling coil!
Main issue is funding.
24MUTAC meeting – 18-04-2007 Alain Blondel
The complete cell of the study II cooling channel is composed of
two RF coupling-coil modules with an absorber-focus pair module in the middleThis corresponds to step VI.
Although ionization cooling could already be observed in step V, several aspects of the system such as -- flip between two modules and longitudinal emittance growth would not be covered fully. The complete MICE project extends to step VI (MICE needs two RFCC modules and three AFC modules)

29MUTAC meeting – 18-04-2007 Alain Blondel
Beyond PHASEII -- Ideas for « Phase III »
ONCE PHASEII will be completed, having equipped the MICE hall with-- spectrometers, TOF and PID able to measure emittance to 10-3
-- 8 MW of 201MHz RF power -- 23 MV of RF acceleration-- Liquid Hydrogen infrastructure and safety
MICE can become a facility to test new cooling ideas.
Such ideas were proposed:
A. with the existing MICE hardware to test optics beyond the neutrinoFactory study II: non flip optics, low-beta optics (down to 5 cm vs 42 cm nominal) other absorber materials He, Li, LiH, etc..LN2 cooled RF cavities
B. with additional hardware: -- A. Skrinsky to test a lithium lense available at Novosibirsk -- Muons Inc. to test a section of helicoidal channel (MANX)
30MUTAC meeting – 18-04-2007 Alain Blondel
0. MICE will be taking data in 166 days
1. The collaboration is making excellent progress in all fronts:Simulations, R&D, engineering, prototyping and construction The funding for phase I is complete, but manpower is never in excess US contributions have been fundamental since the start of MICE
(concept,engineering) and continue to be (detectors, electronics)
2. MICE will start phase I data taking in summer/fall 2007Steps I, II, III will allow beam tuning, first measurement of emittance
and verification of systematics.
3. The funding for phase II is submitted and under review.The MUCOOL R&D is critical to the continuation of the experiment andsuffers from the lack of a coupling coil NOW. 4. MICE phase II requires 2 RFCC modules and 3 AFC modules to allow
full benefit from MICE until step VI.
5. Our aim is to assure that step VI can be performed in good time for 2010.
MUTAC support will be highly valuable for this.

37MUTAC meeting – 18-04-2007 Alain Blondel
201MHz cavity in magnetic field?
At this point we do not know if a 200 MHz cavity can operate reliably with 4T fields from the focus pairs
Performance of NUFACT is strongly affected by this (muon decays!)
NUFACT performance assumes 12 MV/m MICE normal operation is 8MV/m (8MW on 8 cavities at room Temp)
MICE can reach 12 MV/m this by cooling all cavities with LiqN2
MICE can reach up to 16MV/m (8MW on 2 cavities or 4 LiqN2-cooled)
MUCOOL single cavity can reach 16 MV/m but present MUCOOL magnet only allows 0.2T on window with very divergent B fieldwill be tried anyway - instrum. ready
What is really needed here is MUCOOL Coupling coil
strong multipactor was observed in 800 MHz cavity-->
