MICE液氢吸收器
The liquid-hydrogen absorber for MICE
摘要:
μ子电离冷却实验(MICE)已在STFC卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室建立,以证明通过电离冷却的μ子束相空间缩减的原理。未来的质子中微子工厂或μ介子对撞机将需要μ介子束冷却。通过使束通过能量吸收材料(诸如液氢)并且然后使用RF腔重新加速束来实现电离冷却。本文介绍了为MICE建造的氢系统,包括:液氢吸收器、相关的低温和气体系统、控制和监测系统以及必要的安全工程。介绍了该系统在冷却、液化和稳定运行方面的性能。
英文摘要:
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) has been built at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory to demonstrate the principle of muon beam phase-space reduction via ionization cooling. Muon beam cooling will be required at a future proton-derived neutrino factory or muon collider. Ionization cooling is achieved by passing the beam through an energy-absorbing material, such as liquid hydrogen, and then re-accelerating the beam using RF cavities. This paper describes the hydrogen system constructed for MICE including: the liquid-hydrogen absorber, its associated cryogenic and gas systems, the control and monitoring system, and the necessary safety engineering. The performance of the system in cool-down, liquefaction, and stable operation is also presented.
