The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is a high energy physics experiment located at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in U.K. The aim of MICE is to demonstrate muon beam cooling for the first time. The process of reducing beam phase-space volume is known as beam cooling and this process is necessary for a beam of muons because of the large phase-space volume that they...

Presentation
Muon-based accelerators have the potential to enable facilities at both the Intensity and the Energy Frontiers, with industrial applications as well. Progress in muon accelerator designs has advanced steadily in recent years. In regard to 6D muon cooling, detailed and realistic designs now exist that provide more than 5 order-of-magnitude emittance reduction, with recent progress in...

The Mu2e Experiment will search for the conversion of an muon to an electron in the field of a nucleus with four orders of magnitude greater sensitivity than the previous best search. The experiment requires a beam consisting of short (~200 ns FW) proton bunches, separated by 1.7 microseconds, with no out of time beam at a fractional level of 1e-10 or lower. This last requirement is referred...

The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will demonstrate the ionization cooling of muons; the only known technique that can provide high brightness muon beams suitable for applications such as a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. MICE is underway at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and has recently taken the data necessary to characterise the physical processes that...

Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) is the centerpiece of Fermilab’s plan for upgrading the accelerator complex to establish the leading facility in the world for particle physics research based on intense proton beams. PIP-II has been developed to provide 1.2 MW of proton beam power at the start of operations of the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE), while simultaneously providing a...

CEPC is a 100 km circular electron-positron collider operating at 90-240 GeV center-of-mass energy of Z-pole, WW pair production threshold, and Higgs resonance. CEPC and its successor SPPC, a 100 TeV center-of-mass super proton-proton collider, will ensure the elementary particle physics a vibrant field for decades to come. To reduce the overall cost, partial double ring scheme was proposed as...

We discuss the GEM*STAR reactor concept, which addresses all historical reactor failures, which includes an internal spallation neutron target and high temperature molten salt fuel with continuous purging of volatile radioactive fission products such that the reactor contains less than a critical mass and almost a million times fewer volatile radioactive fission products than conventional...

Fermilab Booster is the second oldest rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) in the world. In the intensity frontier (IF) program of Fermilab, the Booster plays a critical role. Currently, (PIP-era) the Booster receives proton beam from the 400 MeV normal conducting LINAC and accelerates the beam to 8 GeV using its twenty RF stations that are distributed around the ring. The main dipole magnets of...
