National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Very Fast Ramping Muon Synchrotron for a Neutrino Factory.

DE200415006336

Publication Date	2003
Personal Author	Summers, D. J.; Berg, J. S.; Palmer, R. B.; Garren, A. A.
Page Count	10
Abstract	A 4600 Hz fast ramping synchrotron is studied as an economical way of accelerating muons from 4 to 20 GeV/c for a neutrino factory. Eddy current losses are minimized by the low machine duty cycle plus thin grain oriented silicon steel laminations and thin copper wires. Combined function magnets with high gradients alternating within single magnets form the lattice. Muon survival is 83%.
Keywords	Accelerators Muons Fast ramping synchrotron Copper Eddy currents Magnets Neutrinos Silicon Steels Synchrotrons Neutrino factories
