2. TRANSVERSE-TO-LONGITUDINAL EMITTANCE EXCHANGE AT THE FERMILAB ADVANCED SUPERCONDUCTING TEST ACCELERATOR

Chris Prokop (Fermilab)

A variable-dispersion bunch compressor chicane with a transverse-deflecting cavity (TDC) may serve as a transverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchangers (EEX). In this paper, we present a design and simulations of a chicane-based EEX for eventual implementation at Fermilab's Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA). Such a beamline is foreseen to enable bunch current profile shaping,...

5. Beam Instrumentation for High Pressure RF Cavity Experiment at Fermilab MuCool Test Area

Dr Mukti Jana (Fermilab)

At MuCool Test Area (MTA) of Fermilab, an experiment has been performed with an RF cavity filled with high pressure hydrogen gas to study beam loading effects. In this experiment a 400 MeV proton beam is used with an external magnetic field of B=3 T. Quantitative information about the number of protons passing through the cavity is an essential requirement of the beam test. We have developed...

32. Charge Current Quasi-Elastic Neutral Hyperon Production with ArgoNeuT

ArgoNeuT is a small scale (170 liter) Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) which collected data at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois (2009 2010). ArgoNeuT was located 100 meters underground, upstream of the MINOS near detector, exposed to the on-axis NUMI neutrino beamline. It is an R&D project paving the way for bigger LArTPCs such as MicroBooNE and...

25. MicroBooNE: Physics Overview and Detector Assembly

Mr Ryan Grosso (University of Cincinnati)

11/06/2013, 12:01

The MicroBooNE Experiment is a 170-ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) that will commence running in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab in early 2014. LArTPC detectors provide powerful electron/photon discrimination and will allow MicroBooNE to investigate low energy electron-like events. The experiment will also improve neutrino cross section measurements and serve as an...

27. Results from the Bo Argon Scintillation Test Stand at Fermilab

Mr Benjamin Jones (MIT)

11/06/2013, 12:19

In this talk I will discuss some recent results from the Bo test stand at the Proton Assembly Building, Fermilab. This test stand has been used to characterize elements of the MicroBooNE optical system as well as to perform studies of processes affecting argon scintillation light such as scintillation quenching and optical absorption by impurities. The results of these studies are important...
