1. The High Intensity Frontier Franco Cervelli INFN-Pisa 7 Nov, 2005

4. Historically, many fundamental discoveries and measurements have come from accelerators which were not the highest energy machine available at the time: weak neutral currents at the CERN PS J/  at the AGS (Brookhaven) limits on the lepton-number conservation most of the parameters of CP violation etc.

19. Proton Driver Rings

20. Design Goals  4-5 MW beam power on target  Very short pulse duration (~1 ns rms)  Very low beam loss (~10 -4 )  Note: most proton drivers under study are based on synchrotrons (US, JKJ, UK)

21. European Scenarios  SPL + accumulator and compressor rings  5 GeV, 50 Hz synchrotron-based system  15 GeV, 25 Hz synchrotron-based system  30 GeV, 8 Hz slow cycling synchrotron  8 GeV, 16.67 Hz rapid cycling synchrotron for ISIS/Fermilab, plus upgrades

22. Synchrotron-based Proton Drivers  Low energy linac (~150 MeV)  Booster synchrotrons to accumulate proton beam and perform some acceleration  Main synchrotrons to complete acceleration and compress the bunches.

23. Proton Driver Figure of Merit  For a given power (4MW), target peak proton power density ~ 1/(Kinetic energy T x frequency f). F=T  f is a useful figure of merit.
