## Neutrino Factory Targetry Concept

- Capture low PT pions in a high-field solenoid
- Use Hg jet tilted with respect to solenoid axis
- Use Hg pool as beam dump

- Engineered solution--P. Spampinato, ORNL

## High-Z Materials

**Key Properties**
- Maximal soft-pion production
- Both pion signs are collected
- Liquid (Hg) has potential for extension beyond 4 MW
**Key Issues**
- High pion absorption
- High peak energy deposition
- Jet dynamics in a high-field solenoid
- Target disruption in a high-field solenoid
- Achievement of near-laminar flow for a 20 m/s jet

## E951 Hg Jet Tests

** ****1cm diameter Hg Jet**
** ****V = 2.5 m/s **
** ****24 GeV 4 TP Proton Beam**
** **_**No**_** Magnetic Field**

## Key E951 Results

-  Hg jet dispersal proportional to beam intensity
-  Hg jet dispersal ~ 10 m/s for 4 TP 24 GeV beam
-  Hg jet dispersal velocities ~ 1⁄2 times that of “confined thimble” target
-  Hg dispersal is largely transverse to the jet axis -- longitudinal propagation of pressure waves is suppressed
-  Visible manifestation of jet dispersal delayed 40 s

## CERN/Grenoble Hg Jet Tests

** ****4 mm diameter Hg Jet **
** ****v = 12 m/s**
** ****0, 10, 20T Magnetic Field**
** **_**No**_** Proton Beam**

- Nufact’02

## Key Jet/Magnetic Field Results

- The Hg jet is stabilized by the 20 T magnetic field
- Minimal jet deflection for 100 mrad angle of entry
- Jet velocity reduced upon entry to the magnetic field

## Bringing it all Together

- We wish to perform a proof-of-principle test which will include:
- A high-power intense proton beam (16 to 32 TP per pulse)
- A high (≥ 15T) solenoidal field
- A high (> 10m/s) velocity Hg jet
- A ~1cm diameter Hg jet
- Experimental goals include:
- Studies of 1cm diameter jet entering a 15T solenoid magnet
- Studies of the Hg jet dispersal provoked by an intense pulse of a proton beam in a high solenoidal field
- Studies of the influence of entry angle on jet performance
- Confirm Neutrino factory/Muon Collider Targetry concept

## High Field Pulsed Solenoid

-   69o K Operation
-   15 T with 4.5 MW Pulsed Power
-   15 cm warm bore
-   1 m long beam pipe

- Peter Titus, MIT

## Pulsed Solenoid Performance

**15T Peak Field with 4.5 MVA PS at 69****O**** K**

## Fabrication Contract has been Awarded

- CVIP has been awarded the contract for the pulsed solenoid.
- They are responsible for the cryostat and integration of the coil package into the cryostat.
- We are now receiving build-to-print drawings from CVIP for approval.
- Scheduled delivery is Sept. 2004

## Coil Fabrication

- Everson Tesla, Inc has been sub-contracted to fabricate the coils

## Inner Coil Bend Test

- Key Milestones
-  Long lead item (copper conductor) has been ordered
-  Bend test of copper stock with the specified hardness has been performed to the radius required for the inner coil set.
