Novel Approaches to High-Power Proton Beams (2001.05576v1)
Published 15 Jan 2020 in physics.acc-ph
Abstract: The potentially realizable beam power at the Fermilab long-baseline neutrino program has motivated a reinvigorated design and optimization effort for a rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) intensity upgrade of the Fermilab proton complex. We examine areas of technological development with the potential for high-impact on the Fermilab RCS design - low-loss slip-stacking, advanced neutrino-target R&D, laser-stripping H${-}$ injection, fast-ramping super-ferric magnets, nonlinear integrable optics, electron lens devices, and next-generation halo monitors. A brief overview is given on the Fermilab Accelerator Science & Technology (FAST) facility, where the latter three technologies will undergo comprehensive beam tests.
