Task Force Presentation (1) • Project X & Muon Accelerator Program • Feasibility path to Neutrino Factory/Muon Collider • Project X upgrade • 4MW proton beam at 8GeV • Reformatting of beam • Pulsed Linac beam out of Project X • 15Hz; single bunch of <3ns bunch length
Task Force Presentation (2) • Project X upgrade • Average beam current 5mA • Peak beam current 10mA • Pulse linac operation rep rate 15Hz • Pulsed linac duty factor 10% (pulse length of 6.7ms) • Reformatting of beam • Rings • Accumulator and Compressor • ~200m with h=8 • Delivery trombone system to form “single bunch”
Project X Solution(1) • Details of Project X • Impact of proposed upgrade • Front end: no impact • CW linac: depends upon 3GeV program • Coupler optimization for running 5mA (10% duty cycle) and another possible current (90% duty cycle) • Pulsed linac: straight forward • More RF power (higher current) • Upgrade power couplers (higher current) • More cryo capacity (longer pulse) • Conventional facilities: started investigating • More water cooling • More Klystrons (more floor space)
Project X Solution(2) • Expect to “reuse” >75% of the cost of Project X • Pulsed Linac Couplers • 2KW to 15KW • Pulsed RF Power • 125KW/cavity • Klystrons available • Cryo capacity for Pulsed Linac: increase by 30% • CW Linac Coupler: setting optimization for future 3GeV and pulsed linac average currents
