LBNF Outline LBNF/DUNE Introduction LBNF Beamline design status Target R&D Activities LBNF Beamline plans for the near future Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities

LBNF Facility and Experiment 3 LBNF: provides facility infrastructure at two locations to support the experiment: Near site: Fermilab, Batavia, IL – facilities and infrastructure to create neutrino beam and host the near DUNE detector Far site: Sanford Underground Research Facility, Lead, SD – facilities to support the far DUNE detectors DUNE: Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment Near and far site detectors Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities     e ND FD

LBNF LBNF/DUNE Science Goals LBNF/DUNE is a comprehensive program to: Measure neutrino oscillations – Direct determination of CP violation in the leptonic sector – Measurement of the CP phase  – Determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy – Determination of the  23 octant and other precision measurements – Testing the 3-flavor mixing paradigm – Precision measurements of neutrino interactions with matter – Searching for new physics Study other fundamental physics enabled by a massive, underground detector – Search for nucleon decays (e.g. targeting SUSY-favored modes) – Measurement of neutrinos from galactic core collapse supernovae – Measurements with atmospheric neutrinos Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities3 In a single experiment

LBNF Fermilab Accelerator Complex 5 Main Injector 12 Booster batches are to be injected and slip- stacked in Recycler while Main Injector is accelerating. 700 kW demonstration expected on the NuMI/NOvA target in March 2016 – Proton Improvement Plan KW on 07/01/15. ~ 21,000 m 2

Derwent, S. Holmes, I. Kourbanis, V. Lebedev (Replacing existing 400 MeV Linac) More from E. Prebys on Plenary Session Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities

LBNF 9 A design for a new Beamline at Fermilab is under development, which will support the new Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility. The primary beam, single turn extracted from MI, is designed to transport high intensity protons in the energy range of GeV to the LBNF target. (Current reference energy is 80 GeV). A broad band, sign selected neutrino beam with its spectrum to cover the 1 st (2.4 GeV) and 2 nd (0.8 GeV) oscillation maxima => Covering 0.5 ~ 5.0 GeV All systems designed for 1.2 MW initial proton beam power (PIP-II, ~2024). Facility is upgradeable to 2.4 MW proton beam power (PIP-III). We are currently assuming 20 year operation of the Beamline, where for the first 5 years we operate at 1.2 MW and for another 15 years at 2.4 MW. Uptime (including the uptime of accelerator complex): aiming to at least 55%. Beamline Design Requirements (relevant to the physics) Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities

LBNF 10 Designed for 2.4 MW, since upgrading later would be prohibitively expensive and inconsistent with ALARA: – Size of enclosures (primary proton beamline, target chase, target hall, decay pipe, absorber hall) – Radiological shielding of enclosures (except from the roof of the target hall, that can be easily upgraded for 2.4 MW when needed) – Primary Beamline components – The water cooled target chase cooling panels – The decay pipe and its cooling and the decay pipe downstream window – beam absorber – remote handling equipment – radioactive water system piping – horn support structures are designed to last for the lifetime of the Facility What is being designed for 2.4 MW Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities

LBNF 11 The LBNF Primary Beam will transport GeV protons from MI-10 to the LBNF target to create a neutrino beam. The beam lattice points to 79 conventional magnets (25 dipoles, 21 quadrupoles, 23 correctors, 6 kickers, 3 Lambertsons and 1 C magnet).

Fields Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities

LBNF Cooling gas selection for target chase - alternative There are two studies in progress that could eventually affect which gas is selected for use in the target pile cooling system (the reference design assumes air): (1) LBNF Corrosion Working Group studies Could motivate reduction/elimination of Oxygen (2) LBNF Air Releases to the Atmosphere Could motivate reduction/elimination of Argon Nitrogen or Helium are possible alternatives Measurements are being made at NuMI and compared with simulations in support of making decisions on the above.

LBNF Target R&D activities – LBNE/LBNF Motivation: Maximize up-time of the experiment Maximize neutrino flux (in conjunction with the horn) Target parameters to optimize: Materials (graphite, Beryllium, etc.) Shape (fins, segmented cylindrical rod, spheres,…) Cooling (water, helium, water-spray,…) Size and position with respect to the horn Strong R&D program in place during the past six years Graphite BNL/BLIP irradiation run in 2010 of seven different materials (graphites, C-C, HBN). Follow up studies confirmed POCO ZXF-5Q graphite is the best choice on the basis of strength and coefficient of expansion after irradiation.

LBNF Priorities for FY16 and FY17 I Corrosion Working Group needs to complete its work (Ozone production, etc., complete NuMI measurements and comparisons with MARS – complete contract with ESI). Took data at NuMI for 200 and 400 kW. Analysis to finish by the end of Will continue data taking till we get to 700 kW. Repeat the air-release calculations for the larger target chase which is now the default. (Before that plan to decide if we will cool decay pipe with air or N 2 ). First order structural analysis of the Decay Pipe. MARS and FEA work on the decay pipe snout (in the end of which we have the upstream decay pipe window) so that we can select the material and decide on how we will cool the snout. (carbon steel the default now). Evaluate in a more complete way the consequences of a longer chase/shorter decay pipe to the overall Beamline/CF design and do value engineering. (e.g. upstream decay pipe window). Since we will leave some areas not worked on for a year or two, non-negligible effort was/will be required to document well – technical notes/drawings - what has been done so far Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities

LBNF Bringing the mechanical design of the air cooling of the outer shielding of the Absorber to the advanced conceptual design level so that we can understand in more detail the overall shielding we will need. MARS simulations are lengthy, so the earliest we know what to simulate, the better. Provide engineering support in the evaluation of more optimized targets and horns as the collaboration continues the physics optimization effort. Complete current target R&D commitments (HiRadMat, RADIATE). Completing a Kicker magnet prototype. Priorities for FY16 and FY Vaia Papadimitriou | Beamline Projects Status & Plans19

LBNF Summary 25 The conceptual design is complete - in some systems beyond the conceptual level - since we are following closely the design and lessons learned from NuMI (including re-using components). (Advanced) conceptual design of the Beamline available for 1.2 MW operation using NuMI-like target and horns with modest modifications. Beamline installation and checkout complete (currently) in late FY26. A lot of optimization work has taken place already; out of the explored options, the improvement of the target/focusing system seems to be the most promising one. The FY16 budget of the Beamline Project allows for some modest engineering support for the above activities (in addition to the target R&D effort). Additional talent and effort from the collaboration at large very much needed Vaia Papadimitriou | Overview of Beamline Design & Target R&D activities

LBNF Effects of accidental 2σ off-centre beam on stress waves in simply supported target rod C. Densham et al. RAL report, LBNE docs 2400/3247, Nov Be target R&D 29 For 700 kW operation of a 13 mm diameter 1 m long beryllium cylinder falls inside the chosen design point stress. A series of spheres could be fit even better. For 2.3 MW operation, a cylindrical rod beryllium target would have to be well above 21 mm in diameter in order to bring the peak dynamic stresses below the yield strength. The stress in a series of spheres can be kept below the design point with spheres of 13 mm diameter - advantage of longitudinal segmentation. As target diameter was increased in the study, the beam spot size was also increased to match.
