COMET Target Design (COherent Muon to Electron Transition) Satoshi MIHARA

COMET Experiment Mu-e conversion search – Charged lepton flavor violation – GUT, ν mass origin COMET Target group – RAL Chris Densham Peter Loveridge Tristan Davenne – KEK Makoto Yoshida Satoshi Mihara Proton beam Production target Production target πμπμ Muon stopping target Electron spectrometer proton pulse prompt background muon decay

COMET Staging Approach Phase I Phase II Phase I – Beam background study and achieving an intermediate sensitivity of < GeV, ~3.2kW, ~3 weeks of DAQ Phase II – 8GeV, ~56 kW, 1 year DAQ to achieve the COMET final goal of < sensitivity Starts around μ-μ- μ+μ+ 104MeV/c Phase I 0.03 BG expected in 1.5x10 6 sec running time 10/Sep/2013Satoshi MIHARA, PSI20133

Beam Power Phase I – 8 GeV, 3.2 kW – # of protons per MR bunch equivalent to that of 3.2x(30/8)x2 = 24kW operation at 30GeV Phase II – 8 GeV, 56 kW – Faster repetition cycle is necessary (1.47 sec)

Production Target Phase I (Radiation cooling) – Graphite Refractory material and so is tolerant to high temperature operation Experience in T2K – Tungsten Larger muon yield Radiation cooling may be OK but need careful assessment Phase II (Active cooling) – Tungsten Bad chemistry between tungsten and water Helium cooling instead of water cooling

Radiation cooled tungsten (Phase I) Values used in simulations (not necessarily COMET baseline) Beam power3.2 kW Target heat load194 W Target radius4 mm Beam radius rms1 mm Tungsten emissivity 0.3 Temperature Max = 1298°C Von Mises stress Max = 3.56 MPa

Phase II: How about helium cooling? Values used in simulations (preliminary) Beam power56 kW Target heat load3.4 kW Target radius4 mm Beam size rms1 mm Helium annulus thickness 1 mm Helium inlet pressure8 bar Helium mass flow5 g/s Temperature Max = 921°C Von Mises stress Max = 63 MPa NB effect of beam cycle not included: 1/3 duty factor -> x3 higher stress!
