The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beamline at Fermilab generates an intense muon neutrino beam for the NOvA (NuMI Off-axis $\nu_e$ Appearance) long-baseline neutrino experiment. Over the years, the NuMI beamline has been pivotal in advancing neutrino physics, providing invaluable data and insights. This presentation offers updates and a comprehensive review of the lessons learned from...
Beam-intercepting devices such as beam windows and particle-production targets are critical components of accelerator target facilities for High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. The high-power, pulsed structure of the particle beams used for these experiments leads to thermal shock and high-cycle fatigue in addition to radiation damage resulting from the accumulated particle fluence. This can...
The Muon Station for Science, Technology, and Industry (MELODY) will be the first muon source at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) in China. In this presentation, we talk about the updated target station design including the target, shielding, proton beam dump and cooling. We also give details about our muon production target of copper, especially the AI optimization used for...
The ENUBET project recently concluded the R&D for a site independent design of a monitored neutrino beam for high precision cross section measurements, in which the neutrino flux is inferred from the measurement of charged leptons in an instrumented decay tunnel. In this phase three fundamental results were obtained and will be discussed in this talk: 1) a beamline not requiring a horn and...
High intensity neutrino beam over 1 MW beam power is crucial to search for CP violation in Lepton sector. J-PARC accelerator and neutrino beamline are being upgraded towards 1.3 MW beam power for Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. Magnetic horns are used to focus secondary particles produced in a neutrino production target and can intensify the neutrino beam by more than an order of magnitude....
What do the accelerator target stations of the next decade look like? The NuMI beamline, fed by Fermilab’s Main Injector, recently exceeded 1 MW beam power. Future experiments fed by the PIP-II superconducting linear accelerator might demand upwards of 2 MW in continuous-wave mode, compared the pulsed beams typical of neutrino experiments. Looking further into the future, the Muon Collider...
