  6. Tevatron StretcherMike Syphers • Tevatron can be use as a stretcher for providing 150 GeV beams to the existing Fermilab switch yard. • MI: 150 GeV, 1.33 s cycle time, 2(of 30) pulses->Tevatron • 100 Tp could be stored in the Tevatron for slow extraction using resonant extraction. • 10% of the available MI beam would produce 80 kW with a duty factor of 95% over a 27.3 s cycle time.

  14. The Secrets of Rare Decay Experiments Peter Johnny Hart “BC”

  15. Special Features of Measuring Background processes exceed signal by >1010 I II • Determine everything possible about the K+ and + • * Measure momentum, energy, range, decay sequences • * +/+ particle ID better than 106 ( +-+-e+ ) • Eliminate events with extra charged particles or photons • * 0 inefficiency < 10-6 • Suppress backgrounds well below the expected signal (S/N~5-10) • * Predict backgrounds from data: dual independent cuts • * Use “Blind analysis” techniques • * Test predictions with “outside-the-box” measurements • Evaluate candidate events with S/N function

  16. BNL E787/949 Measurement of Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  17. Probability for all 7 events to be due to background: 0.001 Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  18. CERN Proposal Goal: 10 x E949 New technique. Goal: 50 events/yr. Bkg.~ 14% Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  19. Requirements: • High intensity, high duty factor • Low energy, short K beams • Pulsed beams for Neutral K TOF • Exploit advances in instrumentation Goals and opportunities: <5% precision, comparable to theory, attainable in 3-5 years Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  20. 150 GeV MI beam (10% of available current) + Tevatron stretcher (after Run II) 95% d.f. • New short K+ beam at P=550 MeV/c: 7 x K+ flux relative to LESB3 at the AGS 3xefficiency for stopping kaons • Detector Improvements 10 x acceptance of E949. • Net gain: >100 x E949 • Proven technique.

  22. P996: Incremental Improvements to E949 Technique 13.7 m K+ beam at 550 MeV/c Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  23. Possible site: B0 Hall Detector 150 GeV p beam 1014 p/pulse (27 s) 95% duty factor Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  25. _ • B(KL0) ~ 2.5 10-11 Need huge flux of K’s -> high rates • Weak neutral particle kinematic signature 2 particles missing • Backgrounds with 0 up to 109 times larger • Veto inefficiency on extra particles must be 10-4 • Neutrons dominate the beam • make 0 off residual gas – requires high vacuum • halo must be very small • hermeticity requires photon veto in the beam • Need convincing measurement of background Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  26. KEK PS E391a  JPARC KOTO with KTEV CsI • Features: • Pencil Beam , High PT selection • High acceptance • Reliance on high photon veto efficiency • Sensitivity goal: ~SM level: 2.8 events S/B~1 Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  28. a la KOPIO 2 GeV Protons <50 ps

  29. Low energy beam comes in short bursts Beam very narrow for extra constraint 40 ns between microbunches directions as well as E measured TOF-based experiment A major issue in the KOPIO design was the very wide beam. L.Littenberg

  30. Project X ICD-2: Time structure ideal for TOF-based experiment. ICD-2 Task Force Report • High intensity allows small beam dimensions (like KOTO): “Difficult” vacuum vessel disappears • Geometric acceptance maximized; symmetry restored • 2-D beam kinematic constraint increases S/B • Upstream backgrounds, backgrounds in the fiducial volume reduced • Same micro-bunch event spoilage reduced • Random vetoes reduced due to high duty factor • Beam veto may be unnecessary (See 2008 Project X workshop talks by L. Littenberg, S. Kettell) Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  31. Based on KOPIO techniques, a rough estimate for a Project X ICD-2 experiment can be made. J-PARC group also plans a phase II to reach higher sensitivity. Doug Bryman FNAL Accelerator Workshop October 20, 2009

  32. Dual targeting for charged and neutral experiments appears feasible but needs examination. • Detector technology R&D would be valuable e.g. 50 ps timing resolution, photon veto detectors • Further development of CKM parameters (from lattice, theory and B physics) needed for <5% (10%) measurements for K+ (Kl0).
