## For over 20 years, the Fermilab Tevatron has been the highest energy collider in the world, and it has been the centerpiece of the lab’s physics program.

- This will change *very* soon, when the LHC begins to accelerate and collide beams.
- The current Tevatron experimental program is expected to run through roughly mid 2010, after which it will be superceded by the LHC physics program.
- If Fermilab intends to keep an accelerator based program, it must identify exciting physics that can be done at energies well below the energy frontier.

## “Preac” - Static Cockroft-Walton generator accelerates H- ions from 0 to 750 KeV.  

**“****Preac” - **Static Cockroft-Walton generator accelerates H- ions from 0 to 750 KeV.

**“****Old linac”(LEL)-** accelerate H- ions from 750 keV to 116 MeV

**“****New linac” (HEL)-** Accelerate H- ions from 116 MeV to 400 MeV

##  Accelerates the 400 MeV beam from the Linac to 8 GeV

-  Accelerates the 400 MeV beam from the Linac to 8 GeV
- Operates in a 15 Hz offset resonant circuit
- Sets fundamental clock of accelerator complex
- From the Booster, 8 GeV beam can be directed to
-  The Main Injector
-  The Booster Neutrino Beam (MiniBooNE)
-  A dump.
- More or less original equipment

- 9/18/2008

- Eric Prebys, Jefferson Lab Accelerator Seminar

## The Main Injector can accept 8 GeV protons OR antiprotons from

-  Booster
-  The anti-proton accumulator
-  The Recycler (which shares the same tunnel and stores antiprotons)
- It can accelerate protons to 120 GeV (in a minimum of 1.4 s) and deliver them to
-  The antiproton production target.
-  The fixed target area.
-  The NUMI beamline.
- It can accelerate protons OR antiprotons to 150 GeV and inject them into the Tevatron.

## Protons are accelerated to 120 GeV in Main Injector and extracted to pBar target
pBars are collected and phase rotated in the “Debuncher”
Transferred to the “Accumulator”, where they are cooled and stacked

## Takes 150 GeV protons (clockwise) and antiproton (counterclockwise)

-  Accelerates them 980 GeV
- Collides them at two detectors (CDF and D0)
- Formerly supported a high energy fixed target program.

- 9/18/2008

- Eric Prebys, Jefferson Lab Accelerator Seminar

## 11 Proton batches (~4.5e13) are loaded into the Main Injector and accelerated to 120 GeV every 2.2 seconds:

- 2 of these are extracted for antiproton production
- 9 are extracted for neutrino production in the NuMI line.
- Antiprotons are phase rotated and cooled in the Debuncher, tranferred to the Accumulator, where they are further cooled and stacked.
- When a few ~1011 are accumulated, they are transferred to the Recycler, where they are “stashed”.
- After about a day (~3x1012 antiprotons), these are accelerated to 150 GeV and injected into the Tevatron along with protons, where they collide while the production process repeats.
- While the Main Injector is ramping, 8 GeV protons are sent to the MiniBooNE/SciBooNE neutrino experiment.

## It’s been realized for some time that it makes no sense to keep running the Tevatron once the LHC begins producing physics (~2010)

- In 2004, the Elementary Particle Physics (EPP) 2010 panel was formed to plan for the future of US high energy physics in an LHC dominated world.
- “Interesting” make up
- ~half non-physicists
- Chaired by and economist!
- NO representation by Fermilab, the country’s only remaining HEP lab and the lab most affected by the report.
- Assumed fairly generous funding based on Presidential budget request, “Gathering Storm Report”, ACA, etc
- Gave highest priority to ILC
- Fermilab planned to make ILC primary focus of activity following the termination of the collider program.

## In spite of the positive sign from the President and both houses, the budget that finally emerged from the omnibus committee in December 2007 slashed the HEP budget 

- In spite of the positive sign from the President and both houses, the budget that finally emerged from the omnibus committee in December 2007 *slashed* the HEP budget
- Fermilab got about a $50M cut
- Specific charge to halt work on ILC and NOvA
- Plans to lay off ~10% of staff
- Over the next few months
- Involuntary reductions eliminated through a combination of voluntary separation incentives and emergency funding.
- Realization sets in that we cannot hang out hopes on the ILC.

## In January 2008, the Particle Physics Project Priotization Panel (P5)

- ALL physicists, Fermilab well represented
- 	was given the following (partial) charge:

## Progress in achieving the goals of particle physics requires advancements at the:

**Energy Frontier**
**Intensity (or precision) Frontier**
**Cosmic (or particle astrophysics) Frontier**
- (each provides a unique window for insight about the fundamental forces/particles of nature)
**LHC offers an outstanding opportunity for discoveries at the Energy Frontier**
- Resources will be needed to support the extraction of the science by U.S. scientists
- Resources will be needed for planned accelerator and detector upgrades
**An opportunity exists for the U.S. to become a world leader at the Intensity Frontier**
- Central is an intense neutrino beam and large underground long-based line detector
- Building on infrastructure at Fermilab and partnering with NSF
- Develops infrastructure that positions the U.S. to regain Energy Frontier (Muon Collider)
**Promising opportunities for advancing particle physics identified at Cosmic Frontier**
- Requires partnering with NASA, NSF, etc.
**HEP at its core is an accelerator based experimental science**
- Accelerator R&D develops technologies needed by the field and that benefit the nation

- *as reported by Dennis Kovar at the Fermilab Users’ Meeting, June 2008

## Similar to ewith important advantages:
No combinatorial background
Because the virtual particle can be a photon or heavy neutral boson, this reaction is sensitive to a broader range of BSM physics
Relative rate of eand NeNis the most important clue regarding the details of the physics
We are planning a new experiment at Fermilab (Mu2e), based on the MECO experiment which was proposed at Brookhaven, which can improve the existing limit by more than four orders of magnitude.

- When captured by a nucleus, a muon will have an enhanced probability of exchanging a virtual particle with the nucleus.
- This reaction recoils against the entire nucleus, producing the striking signature of a *mono-energetic electron* carrying most of the muon rest energy

## To lowest order, the muon magnetic moment (g) is 2

- To lowest order, the muon magnetic moment (*g*) is 2
*g* is perturbed by contributions from virtual loops, from both the Standard Model and (possibly) beyond.
- The calculation and measurement of the “anomalous magnetic moment
- 	stands as one of the most precise tests of the Standard Mode
- New physics enters through loops, eg SUSY

## Maximizing the intensity of the Main Injector will require replacing Fermilab’s aging proton source.

- “Proton Drivers” based on both linacs and synchrotrons have been considered:
- Synchrotron probably cheaper
- Linac has more performance headroom and more capacity at 8 GeV.
- In 2007 the Long Range Steering committee endorsed a design based on a linac incorporating ILC RF technology
*Temporarily* named “Project X”

## With a new RF system, the Main Injector should be able to accelerate up to ~1.6x1014 protons every 1.33 seconds.

- With a new RF system, the Main Injector should be able to accelerate up to ~1.6x1014 protons every 1.33 seconds.
- ~2.3 MW at 120 GeV
- The baseline ILC specification is
- 9 mA for 1 ms at 5 Hz
- At that rate, it would take three pulses to “fill” the Main Injector
- Proposal: strip and pre-stack pulses in the Recycler, prior to transferring them to the Main Injector
- Has added advantages that extra pulses would also be stripped, and potentially RF manipulated for other users.

## In the baseline scenario, the 5 Hz Project X linac sets a fundamental clock for the complex.

- It produces one 9mA*1ms = 5.3x1013 protons/linac “blast” each of these “ticks”
- 50 kW @ 8 GeV
- 750 kW @ 120 GeV
- It takes 3 of these to “fill” the Main Injector
- It takes 1.4 seconds, or 7 ticks to ramp the Main Injector to 120 GeV, extract, and ramp back down.
- This potentially leaves 4 blasts, or 200 kW, available for 8 GeV programs.
- If we are injecting into the Recycler, the beam is already stripped and can be RF manipulated, although this has duty factor issues.
- Might be better to have a dedicated “stretcher” ring.
- There are trade offs if we change the energy of the high energy beam.

## Assume

- 9mA*1ms = 5.3x1013 protons/linac “blast”
- Main Injector ramp time+ =

- NOT simply linear!

- Assuming no stretcher ring

## 9/18/2008

## With the priority of the ILC reduced, there is less emphasis on exact compatibility in the high energy Linac

- Propose: going from ILC spec of 1 klystron/3 cromodules to 1 klystron/2:
- Reduce fill time: 1ms flat top -> 1.25 ms
- Increase total power from 285kW (ILC spec) to 500 kW (1/2 klystron)
- Allow the Main Injector to be filled with a single pulse!
- This would eliminate the need to inject into the Recycler.
- We would now have ~1MW of 8 GeV protons available
- However, we lose the important advantage of automatically stripping them in the Recycler (might choose to strip there anyway).

- 9/18/2008

## Proposed new parameters

*** full un-chopped 3 msec pulse at klystron-limited 20 mA**

**** ILC bunch intensity is 2E10 (electrons)**

## The total cost of Project X will be on the order of $750M

- Even with a fairly optimistic funding profile, it will not be operational before the end of the next decade.
- In the mean time, some of the most exciting physics can be pursued with much more modest modifications to the existing complex. In particular,
- NOvA off axist neutrino experiment
- Mu2e
- g-2?
- NOvA (and perhaps initial DUSEL) will be supported with modest modifications to the existing complex.
- Other 8 GeV physics can be supported by re-tasking the antiproton Accumulator and Debuncher as a versatile a *proton *storage facility.

## Booster 15 Hz “batch” rate establishes a fundamental clock and unit of protons (4-5e12)

- Currently load 11 batches in Main Injector
- Period = (11(load) + 22(ramp))/15 = 2.2 s
- 2 for pBar, 9 for NuMI
- Of the remaining 22/2.2 batches, send “as many as we can” to 8 GeV (see next slide)
- NoVA era
- Preload 12 proton batches in Recycler to eliminate load time
- Shorten MI cycle to 20 tickes = 1.33 seconds
*Potentially* 8 booster batches/1.33 seconds available
- = 6 Hz
- = 2.4e13 p/sec (assuming 4E12 batches)
- = 4.8e20 p/yr

##  Currently, all transfer lines in and out of the 8 GeV Recycler go through the Main Injector.

-  Currently, all transfer lines in and out of the 8 GeV Recycler go through the Main Injector.

Momentum stack 3-4 Booster batches
They are then transferred to the Debuncher, where they can be rebunched, slow extracted according to experimental needs.

- Other proposed physics
- Rare kaon decay physics (K->pnn, charged and neutral)
- High energy neutrino program (NuSonG)
- These were given a low priority by P5, but continue to be actively investigated.
- Still lots of people working on ILC stuff (mostly under the aegis of “SRF R&D”)
- Might return at some point
- Non-accelerator physics
- Pierre Auger

## Life will change for Fermilab when the LHC starts to take real data.

- Nevertheless, we plan to continue to support an cutting edge *accelerator-based *physics program.
- We have developed both an intermediate and a long range program, which can accommodate a range of funding scenarios.
