Introduction
• Neutrino Factory design effort has been carried out internationally for ~5 years– International Scoping Study (“ISS”)– follow-on organization is International Design
Study for a Neutrino Factory (“IDS-NF”)• European NF design effort managed and funded as
part of EUROnu design study– EUROnu looking at 3 possible future neutrino facilities,
along with corresponding detector options (WP5) Superbeam (WP2), NF (WP3) and Beta Beam (WP4) physics performance comparison of all three (WP6)
• EUROnu WP3 is fully integrated with IDS-NF
• Summary of main features follows
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 4
Current Baseline (1)
• Baseline has evolved since completion of ISS– mainly front-end optimization– primary “deliverables” unchanged
• System descriptions (to follow) from IDR– http://www.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/~longkr/tmp/IDS-
NF_IDR/IDS-NF_IDR-D14.pdf• 129 authors (by my count)
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 5
Current Baseline (2)
• Schematic of IDR baseline shown here– brief descriptions of individual systems follow
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 6
IDR Proton Driver
• Proton driver defined only by performance specifications– several different implementations under
study• ISIS upgrade [Thomason]; high-power SPL
[Garoby], Project X [Gollwitzer]
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 7
IDR Target
• Target still Hg jet in 20 T solenoid– shielding for magnets found to be inadequate
• too much heat deposited in coils– progress being made toward improved design
• Fe plug (now eliminated)

IDR Front End (1)
• Optimization to make shorter channel [Neuffer]– lattice parameters documented
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 9
IDR Front End (2)
• Drift length 111 80 m• Transport field 1.75 T 1.5 T• Buncher section 51 m 33 m (VRF = 9
MV)• Rotator 54 m 42 m (VRF = 12 MV)• Cooling section 75 m (VRF = 15 MV)
[Rogers]L = 120 m
L = 80 m
ISS IDS-NF
Issue of RF in a magnetic field remains
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 10
Alternative Front Ends
• Because of RF issue, several alternative approaches still being studied as backups– bucked coil lattice [A. Alekou]– magnetically-insulated lattice [D. Stratakis]– HPRF lattice [J. Gallardo, M. Zisman]
Bucked-coil lattice
Magnetically insulated lattice
HPRF cavity lattice
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 11
IDR Acceleration System
• Multiple systems adopted– linac, RLAs, FFAG
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 12
IDR Linac
• Linac accelerates to 0.9 GeV [Bogacz]– three sections with increasing cell length
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 13
IDR RLAs (1)
• Two RLAs [Bogacz]– 0.9-3.6 GeV (0.6 GeV/pass)– 3.6-12.6 GeV (2 GeV/pass)
RLA1
RLA2
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 14
IDR RLAs (2)
• Optics developed to transmit both + and - in opposite directions– quad gradients increase linearly from linac
centerRLA1 linac
RLA2 linac
RLA1 ‘droplet’ arc
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 15
IDR FFAG (1)
• FFAG (12.6-25 GeV) [Berg]– linear non-scaling design
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 16
IDR FFAG (2)
• Ring uses combined-function Nb-Ti magnets– designs for both F and D magnets in progress
• F magnet shown here; not yet optimized

IDR FFAG (3)
• Scheme for injection and extraction has been developed [Pasternak, Kelliher]– requires lots of PFNs
• and lots of power
Injection Extraction

IDR Decay Ring (1)
• Unchanged since ISS
Racetrack[Johnstone]
Triangle[Prior, Rees]
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 19
IDR Decay Ring (2)
• Present baseline is racetrack design– more flexible
• two independent sources that can be oriented as needed
• can use either ring for both + and - – no ‘wasted’ beam if one ring or one detector unavailable
– but, at a cost• two tunnels needed• four transfer lines to take full advantage of flexibility
– and decent detector timing (~100 ns)
• Triangle remains a viable alternative– two rings side-by-side in single tunnel
• good detector timing mandatory with this geometry
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 20
IDR Status
• Original goals– develop complete (initial) NF accelerator
design– produce initial cost estimate
• Where we are– designs for most systems completed and
lattices available• a few systems known to need work
– E deposition in target region unacceptably high
– no cost estimate is available• Leaders of this phase
– Berg, Pozimski
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 21
Progress Since ISS (1)
• Initial concepts of FNAL, RAL proton drivers• Detailed E deposition studies in target area• Many front-end improvements
– shorter phase rotation and bunching systems– assessed impact of reduced VRF in baseline
• studied several alternatives as fallback options– particle loss estimates and mitigation strategy
• Studied more complete RLA designs– symmetric gradient profile– chicanes for arc crossings– chromatic corrections in chicanes
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 22
Progress Since ISS (2)
• More realistic FFAG design– longer drifts– higher average gradient– inj/extr system design– initial magnet designs
• Decay ring– studied diagnostics
• polarimeter, angular divergence measurement
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 23
RDR Goals
• Complete description of all systems• Assessment of feasibility and
performance– tracking (all systems, then end-to-end)
• with imperfections– sufficient engineering to validate designs of
“tricky bits”– cost estimate for entire facility
• requires adequate level of design detail for engineering estimates
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 24
RDR Tasks (1)
• Overall– complete matching section designs to permit
end-to-end simulations– complete engineering design of key components
• issues are feasibility and cost– complete cost estimate
• to be compared with EUROnu estimates for SB and BB– evaluate collective effects for all systems
• Target– develop new solenoid and shielding configuration– define infrastructure
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 25
RDR Tasks (2)
• Front end– develop method for handling particle losses– finalize cooling configuration
• issue of RF choice
• Acceleration– confirm mechanical layouts
• transfer lines, switchyards, bypasses, chicanes, arcs– finalize FFAG chromaticity correction scheme– track (with errors) through entire system
• linac, RLAs, FFAG– evaluate cost of including FFAG vs. using only
linac and RLAs
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 26
RDR Tasks (3)
• Decay ring– decide on chromaticity correction scheme– define injection scheme– evaluate need for beam abort system– define and design ring diagnostics
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 27
RDR Time Scale
• Time scale for all of this effort estimated (Berg) at 2 years– lack of engineering particularly critical– physics effort is also “thin” (and lots to do!)
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 28
MAP Contributions (1)
• MAP proposed these IDS-NF activities– proton driver (Project X version)– targetry and target stations– pion capture and muon phase rotation– ionization cooling– accelerator systems– site-specific (FNAL) underground engineering
issues for the muon storage rings– overall coordination of effort for the low-
energy NF option– participating in costing
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 29
MAP Contributions (2)
• More or less keeping up with physics effort– engineering effort is lacking
• not obvious how to rectify this with projected budgets
• Proposed activities predicated on reaching $15M per year– right now, we’re at $10M (for reasons beyond
our control)• MICE magnet costs have risen dramatically
and must be covered as the highest priority– leaves little “free energy”
• We must revisit IDS-NF promises/schedule
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 30
RDR Planning (1)
• Still (more or less) following original roadmap
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 31
RDR Planning (2)
• IDR draft is complete and final comments and corrections being incorporated– includes physics case, accelerator
description, and detector descriptions• Physics case still indicates NF is the most
powerful tool for studying neutrino sector– finds continuum between single-baseline
“LENF” and two-baseline IDS-NF configuration• depends on value of sin2 213
– which may well be known prior to making NF decision
• Lower MIND threshold validated– progress made on defining near detector
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 32
RDR Planning (3)
• IDR will be reviewed by ECFA panel on May 5-6, 2011 (at Daresbury Lab)– after which IDR will be updated as deemed
appropriate• then published on arXiv and as CERN Yellow Report
• Ongoing discussion on whether to publish IDR in refereed journal– strong views on both sides– decision at next IDS-NF plenary meeting
• October 17-19, 2011 at Virginia Tech– in any case, need to step up “community
outreach”
February 28, 2011 NF Report - Zisman 33
