  2. Overview:

  3. Interaction between proton beam and target. • Simulation done with FLUKA 2002.4 and MARS • Proton beam • Ek=2.2GeV, 3.5GeV, 4.5GeV, 6.5GeV et 8GeV • Target • Liquid mercury • Long : 30cm •  15mm • Normalization: 4MW • 1.1×1016pot/s@2.2GeV • 0.7×1016pot/s@3.5GeV

  10. Decay Tunnel Parameters • Radius • modify acceptance • R=1m, 1.5m and 2m have been Tested • 1m 2m (L=40) • nm , nm +50% • ne , ne +50% to 70% • 2m seems better • Length • modify purity • L=10m, 20m, 40m and 60m have been tested. • 10m40m • nm , nm + 50% to 70% • ne , ne + 50% to 100% • 40m60m • nm , nm + 5% • ne , ne+ 20% • 40m seems better This results have been checked on sensitivity to q13 and dCP

  11. Flux computation • Low energy  Small boost  low focusing • Need a high number of events (~1015 evts!!!) • Use probability (M. Donega thesis approach) • Each time a pion, a muon, or a kaon is decayed by Geant, compute the probability for the neutrino to reach the detector • Use this probability as a weight, and fill an histogram with the neutrino energy • Gives neutrino spectrum.

  12. nm d q p+ 1 – b2 1 A m+ P = p a 4p (b cosa -1)2 L2 p Probability method …. Pions • Pion is tracked by Geant • When it decays, The probability for the neutrino to reach the detector is computed: • p+m+nm : (2-body decay) L : distance to detector A : detector surface To reach the detector: d = -a

  13. 1 A 2 1 1 – bm2 P =  4p L2 mm 1 + bmcosqm (bmcosr -1)2 * (f0(x) Pf1(x)cosqm)  * Probability method …. Muons • m+e+nmne • But muons have small decay probability. • for each muon • loop on the phase space (q,f,E) • compute decay probability e-x/gct • if it decays, compute probability for the neutrino to reach the detector : x = 2En/mm • P is the muon polarisation coming from the pion/kaon decay

  14. Probability method …. Kaons • Very few kaons : • kaon produced in the target is duplicated many times: ~100. • Decay using Geant • Choose the decay channel • Probability computed depending on the decay channel • 2 body decay • 3 body decay

  15. Neutrino flux @ 130km • 3.5GeV Kinetic proton beam • ~800MeV p focusing • ~300MeV neutrinos • 40m decay tunnel length • 2m decay tunnel radius

  17. Conclusion • Choice of the beam energy is delicate • Tools exist to do another simulation • Proton interaction on target should be better with new version of fluka • Shape of the horns is crucial. • Technical feasability should be taken into account...

  18. That’s all folks !!!
