2 K.Walaron Fermilab, Batavia, Chicago 12/6/20062 G4beamline: An overview G4beamline is code based on full GEANT4 implementation. G4beamline is code based on full GEANT4 implementation. Very realistic. Very realistic. All stochastic physics, decays, quads and dipoles realistic. Fringe fields included. All stochastic physics, decays, quads and dipoles realistic. Fringe fields included. Decay Solenoid  Field map, Tracker Solenoid  Opera 2D field map. Decay Solenoid  Field map, Tracker Solenoid  Opera 2D field map. All materials included, windows realistic, world volume is air. All materials included, windows realistic, world volume is air. Anything that should be in vacuum is in vacuum e.g. except for air- gap to decouple ISIS/pion-channel everything is in vacuum until end of decay solenoid. Anything that should be in vacuum is in vacuum e.g. except for air- gap to decouple ISIS/pion-channel everything is in vacuum until end of decay solenoid. Point to make is that we believe the G4beamline simulation is accurate to a good level and is a powerful tool for beamline evaluation Point to make is that we believe the G4beamline simulation is accurate to a good level and is a powerful tool for beamline evaluation

Low impact on optics design, possible impact on rates. High impact if we trip ISIS but target depth will be variable. Target test should illuminate this (no pun intended).

High momentum tail accounts for the higher mean

Optimiser under development to match to beta function by altering 6 muon channel quadrupoles Initial studies show, for example, for this tune the following results Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 Q9 beta betaDiff 4Demitt 1.02956 -1.32561 0.87959 0.88758 -1.34275 1.14749 489.913 156.913 11.6205 1.03891 -1.3156 0.919503 0.88758 -1.34275 1.14749 372.644 39.644 13.0433
