3The Fermilab Long Range Plan
- In May of 2004 Fermilab completed a Long Range
Planning exercise - The report is available at
- http//www.fnal.gov/directorate/Longrange/Long_ran
ge_planning.html - The vision expressed in that report is that
Fermilab will remain the primary site for
accelerator-based particle physics in the U.S.
regardless of the siting or schedule for the
International Linear Collider - If successful as host to a linear collider
Fermilab would be established as a world center
for physics at the energy frontier for many
decades. - If a linear collider were constructed elsewhere,
or delayed, Fermilab would strive to become a
world center in neutrino physics, based on new
multi-MW Proton Source (AKA Proton Driver) - One possible scenario is that an SCRF Linac based
Proton Driver is built at Fermilab as a first
step towards a U.S. hosted International Linear
Collider
Fermilab is pursuing Linear Collider and Proton
Driver RD in parallel. The recent ITRP decision
to use cold technology for the International
Linear Collider allows close alignment of these
paths.

physics possibilities with intense (MW class)

5Neutrino Physics
- At all of these workshops, the leading Physics
case for an intense Proton source is provided by
the study of neutrino oscillations. Why ? - Recent experimental results provide stunning and
compelling evidence that neutrinos have nonzero
masses and mixings (K2K, SNO, LSND, KAMLAND, etc) - The Standard Model cant accommodate neutrino
mass terms, which require either the existence of
right-handed neutrinos ? Dirac mass terms, or a
violation of lepton number conservation ?
Majorana mass terms - Hence this sector of the Standard Model is
broken - Steve Geer at recent DOE briefing to Robin
Staffin on the Physics case for the PD
6Neutrino Oscillations
- Neutrino masses are small, difficult to measure,
but . - One way to probe small neutrino mass differences
is to study neutrino oscillations. Namely where a
neutrino of one type (e.g. ?? ) spontaneously
transforms into another type (e.g. ?e ) - For this phenomenon to occur the neutrinos must
have mass and the apparent conservation of lepton
number must be violated - The probability for 2-flavor neutrino
oscillations is given by - P sin2(2 ?) sin2(1.27 ?m2 L/E)
- Where
- ?m is the mass difference between the parent ?
and its daughter - L is the distance the neutrino travels in
meters from birth to detection - E is the neutrino parent energy, and
- ? is the mixing angle
7Neutrino Experiments
- Many of the neutrino oscillation experiments have
used neutrinos from the sun or those produced in
the upper atmosphere by cosmics - New generation experiments Use accelerator
produced neutrino beams. One example is
NUMI/MINOS which will start taking data in 2005
with goal of measuring ?? ? ?e oscillations - The MINOS near detector is located at Fermilab,
and a far Detector in the Soudan mine in
Minnesota ( 730 km away)
130M investment, performance limited by
intensity of Proton Source
8Why are such neutrino experiments interesting ?
- Because there is a LOT that we dont know
- We dont know the masses of the neutrinos
- We do know that neutrino masses and mass
splittings are tiny compared to the masses of any
of the other fundamental fermions, - but we dont know why this is the case.
- perhaps this points to new physics, which
originates at the GUT or Planck Scale, perhaps it
indicates the existence of new spatial
dimensions. - We dont know how many neutrino mass eigenstates
there are.
9Why are such neutrino experiments interesting ?
- If the LSND (Liquid Scintillator Neutrino
Detector) experiment is confirmed, (ie where a
very large value of Dm2 is observed) then there
are more than 3 n mass eigenstates. - However, only 3 contribute to the Z width ?
existence of new sterile neutrinos that dont
couple to the known leptons - Currently the mini-BooNe experiment is running at
Fermilab using neutrinos made with protons from
the 8 GeV FNAL booster with the goal of
confirming or refuting the LSND findings - This is exciting stuff
- But the experiment is limited by the available
proton flux at 8 GeV - If LSND is not confirmed, then nature may contain
only 3 neutrinos and, from the existing data, the
neutrino spectrum looks something like
1010
Normal

?m2atm

?m2sol 8 x 105 eV2, ?m2atm 2.5
x 103 eV2 Note in comparison ?m2LSND 0.2 lt
?m2 lt 2.0 eV2 is huge
We dont know which of these spectra is correct
11Neutrino Mixing
11
Within the framework of 3-flavor mixing, the 3
known flavor eigenstates (ne, nm, nt) are related
to 3 neutrino mass eigenstates (n1, n2, n3)
(3?3)
(
)
(
)
We know that UMNS is very different from the CKM
Matrix
12Neutrino Mixing
12
In analogy with the CKM matrix, UMNS can be
parameterized using 3 mixing angles(q12 , q23 ,
q13 ) and one complex phase (d)

13How can you determine if the spectrum is Normal
Or Inverted ?
Exploit the fact that, in matter,

raises the effective mass of ?e, and lowers that
of ?e. This is usually referred to as the
matter effect
To resolve the mass hierarchy use the fact that

Higher Energy is Better
The effect is
16How can you determine if the spectrum is Normal
Or Inverted ?
- Larger E is better but
- We want L/E to at the peak of the oscillation
- Therefore Larger E must be matched by larger L
- Using larger L ( ie long baselines) to determine
if the neutrino spectrum is normal or
inverted could be a unique contribution of a
new intense proton source at Fermilab - If ?13 is large enough then observation of CP
violation in the lepton sector may be possible - If CP violation is observed ?one possible
explanation of why we exist ! (Leptogenesis)
17SummaryThe Neutrino Physics Case for the PD
- Intense proton sources combined with large long
baseline neutrino experiments allow one to
perform precise and very interesting measurement
of neutrino oscillation parameters - An ultimate goal is the discovery of and
measurement of leptonic CP violation - Intermediate goals include
- Resolving the neutrino mass hierarchy problem
- Precision measurement of neutrino interaction
cross sections
18Other Possible Physics with Intense Proton Sources
e.g. BR (KL ? p o n n ) 3 x 10-11
- Rare decays
- (window for new physics)
- Intense Kaon beams!
- Muon physics (with intense muon beams)
- Rare muon decays, Search for lepton flavor
violation m ? eg or m ? 3e - Muon EDM, CP violation
- Precision measurements g-2 (statistics limits
understanding systematics) - Neutrino Factories
- Anti-Proton Physics
- When BTEV ends 2015 Fermilab will have by far
the worlds most intense source of antiproton.
What should we do with it ? - Long pulse spallation neutron source, etc more

21Limitations of Existing P Source
- Preac/Linac
- Linac can 40 uA of H- _at_ 15 Hz, Not a performance
limitation - but the equipment is old (experts too!) gt
reliability is an issue - Booster
- Limits the performance of the proton source
- Apertures, space charge effects, and losses limit
the number protons in a booster batch to 6E12
protons (limit set by activation of equipment) - Uses a 15 Hz resonant magnet cycle but heating in
ramped elements limit cycles with beam to 10 Hz
25 KW of beam power at 8 GeV - Main Injector
- Designed to Accelerate 6 booster batches/cycle ?
3E13 P/cycle - 120 GeV cycle rate 5/15(injection) 1.5(ramp)
1.83 sec/cycle - MI Beam Power
- The Main Injector 0.3 MW at 120 GeV (1.5 E 20
P/Snowmass yr)
22Limitations of Existing P Source
- Fancy MI loading schemes could increase the
maximum number of booster batches from 6 to ll in
the future (slip stacking) - Doubles the protons/cycle but this slows the
cycle time - Already with 6 booster batches 15 of the cycle
time is used to fill the Main injector
23Existing Fermilab Proton Source and its
Limitations
- Several studies have had the goal of
understanding the limitations of the existing
source and suggesting upgrades - Proton Driver Design Study I
- 16 GeV Synchrotron (TM 2136) Dec
2000 - Proton Driver Design Study II (draft TM 2169)
- 8 GeV Synchrotron May 2002
- 2 MW upgrade to Main Injector
May 2002 - 8 GeV Superconducting Linac
Feb 2004 - Proton Team Report (D Finley) Oct
2003 - Report http//www.fnal.gov/directorate/program_pl
anning/studies/ProtonReport.pdf - Limitations of existing source, upgrades for a
few 10s of M. - On the longer term the proton demands of the
neutrino program will exceed what reasonable
upgrades of the present Booster and Linac can
accommodate ?FNAL needs a plan to replace its
aging LINAC Booster with a new more intense
proton source (AKA a Proton Driver)
24Proton Driver Study in Progresshttp//www-bd.fnal
.gov/pdriver/
- High Level Parameters
- 0.5-2.0 MW beam power at 8 Gev
- 2.0 MW beam power at 120 GeV
- 6 x power of current Main Injector
- Two Possible implementations
- 8 GeV Synchrotron
- 8 GeV SCRF Linac
- FLRPC Linac is preferred
- Better performance
- More Flexible
- Comparable in cost
- LC connection (TESLA technology)
25PD 8 GeV SC Linac
- Design concept originated with Bill Foster at
FNAL - Observation / GeV for SCRF has fallen
dramatically ?Can consider a solution in which H-
beam is accelerated to 8 GeV in a SC linac and
injected directly into the Main Injector - Why an SCRF Linac looks attractive
- Probably simpler to operate vs. two machines
(i.e. linac booster) - Produces very small emittances vs. a synchrotron
(small halo losses in MI) - Can delivers high beam power simultaneously at 8
120 GeV - Many components exist (fewer parts to design vs
new booster synchrotron) - Use TESLA klystrons, modulators, and
cavities/Cryo modules - Exploit development/infrastructure from RIA, SNS,
JLAB, JPARC etc - Can be staged to limit initial costs grow
with neutrino program needs
26PD Status and Plans
- Following the FLRPC recommendations FNAL started
an serious effort to develop the SCRF linac
design and the Physics case - Bill Foster Machine Design
- Steve Geer Physics case
- The Aug 04 ITRP selection of cold technology
for the International Linear Collider provides a
HUGE boost for idea of an SCRF linac based PD at
FNAL - Much of the development and infrastructure needed
for a Proton Driver or a cold-technology
International Linear collider are identical - A superconducting linac-based Proton Driver might
have many possible future missions

29 Cavities and Cryomodules
Tesla SCRF Cavity
Cryomodule at Tesla Test Facility
The Cavities and Cryo-modules for 85 of the
Proton Driver will be nearly identical to those
developed by the TESLA collaboration for the
International Linear Collider
30What is a Tesla Cryo-Module?
12 Meter long Cryostat Eight 9-cell cavities of
pure Nb Cavities are cooled with 1.8 K superfluid
He Cavities are surrounded by thermal radiation
shields (4 80 K) Couplers carry 1.3 GHz RF
energy from room temp into the cavity Support,
alignment structures tuners, magnetic shielding,
etc/
31SCRF Cavities
- Superconducting cavities are remarkable !
- Single cavities have achieved accelerating
gradients of gt45 MV/M this is a Huge number
Think 45 KV/mm ! - Superconducting cavities also exhibit some of the
highest Qs ( stored energy/energy loss per
cycle) of any system observed in nature.
Qs gt few x 1010 are typical - Gradients in cavities are typically limited by
field emission, breakdowns, or quenchs - Material control and cleanliness are crucial
32How do you build a SCRF Cryomodule ?
- Cavities are fabricated from pure Nb Sheet
- Nb is machined, deep drawn, electron Beam welded
to form the basic cavity - Cavities then are chemically etched, baked, and
cleaned with utra-pure high pressure water (goal
smooth surface, no micro size or larger
contamination which can cause field emission) - Work is done in Class 10 clean rooms (similar to
chip fabrication) - The highest gradients are achieved with a final
electro-polish step 25 ?
35-40 MV/Meter. (Individual cavities are tested
after this step.) - Cavities are then dressed with a helium vessel
- Input couplers are added to pass room temp RF
into 1.8 K cavity environment - Cavity string assembly ( 8 cavities) is last
clean room step - Next is cold mass assembly, alignment,
insertion in outer vessel - Finally, the cryomodule is tested (requires
cryogenics high power RF ) - All of this requires a lot of
infrastructure (eg DESY spend 140 M to build
TTF I II. - Fortunately, a lot of SCRF infrastructure already
exists at US universities national labs (e.g.
recent SNS construction)

36RF Power Klystrons
- RF power for the Proton Driver would be provided
by high power (10 MW) 1.3 GHz klystrons - Three companies have developed these for TESLA
(Thales, CPI, Toshiba) - Modulators would be identical to
those used by TESLA (built by Fermilab)
37RF Power Modulators
- Biggest single component in RF cost for a PD or a
LC - Fermilab designed and built the modulator for the
TESLA TTF, Its been in service and reliable at
TTF since 1994 - Modulators for the Proton Driver and ILC could be
very similar
38RF System for 1.2? 8 GeV Linac
- The Proton Driver design assumes TESLA-style RF
power distribution works - One TESLA multi-beam Klystron per 12 Cavities
- A Proton Linac (b lt 1) requires a fast ferrite
E-H tuner to control the phase and amplitude to
each cavity - Also needed if Linac is to alternate between e
and P. - The fundamental technology to do this was
developed in the 1960s for phased-array radar
transmitters. - This technology work is crucial to the financial
feasibility of the Proton Driver ( klystron
modulator are 2 M) - Fermilab began RD last year to develop the
required phase shifters (two in-house designs
ordered one commercially from AFT)

47SCRF Front End (Pulsed RIA)?
- RIA group at Argonne has made great progress
using spoke resonators to achieve high gradients
for betalt1 cavities. - Using these in 1 msec pulsed mode looks
considerably cheaper than a warm-copper front end
(if one already has the cryoplant). - FNAL/ANL collaboration
- Shared SCRF infrastructure (chemistry)
- Investigating common designs, shared production
- Plan to test RIA cavities in Pulsed mode (U of I
grad student)
48Topologically same as a shorted coax
49Main Injector Upgrades
- With a Proton Driver beam in the Main injector
will increase by a factor of 5 from its design
value of 3.0 E 13 protons per pulse to 1.5 E 14 - The main injector beam power can also be
increased by shortening the MI ramp time. - Requires additional magnet power supplies
- Becomes practical with a linac, injection time
1 ms - More protons/cycle and/or faster ramp times ?
more MI RF power required - But shorter ramp time ? beam power goes up.

Standard Ramp
- Fill time is negligible gt could increase MI ramp
rate
51Baseline Proton Driver MI 0.8 sec cycle
52Comparison of PD options
RDK unofficial
- With an 8 GeV SCRF Linac one can imagine upgrade
paths to MI beam powers beyond 2 MW
53Synergies with other Projects
- Synergy with many other SCRF projects
- CBEAF upgrades, SNS, RIA, light sources,
e-cooling _at_RHIC, eRHIC, etc - Strong connection with a Cold Technology LC
- Both require extensive SCRF infrastructure
development - The last 85 of the Proton Driver linac (1 GeV to
8 GeV) is comprised of b1 TESLA modules and can
serve as a large scale demonstration of the 4000
cryo-modules and RF equipment needed for the ILC - Proton Driver 1 of a LC gt improve the LC
cost estimate ( will pay for itself ) - Can be used to study ILC reliability and
alignment issues - The synergy between ILC RD and Proton Driver is
further reinforced by the almost complete overlap
of a PD and ILC module RD and test plans - SCRF PD could be made to accelerate electrons
- With a low emittance source ? LC beam studies
- Possibly serve as part or all of a LC ETF
- All of this can happen while the LC project is
trying to organize complex international
agreements and funding
54Timescale for a Proton Driver ?
- Always hard to guess
- Technically limited schedule
- CD0 in 05
- CD1 in 06 (preliminary acquisition strategy,
PEP, conceptual design report, project scope,
baseline cost/schedule range, PMP, Hazard
analysis, etc) - CD 2/3a in 07-08 (project baseline approved,
approval to start construction) - Funds in FY09 ? Availability of funding from DOE
may push this later - Once funding is approved, typical projects of
this scale ( MI, SLAC B factory, KEK-B, SNS) have
construction times of 4-5 years - The timescale will also depend on how the Linear
Collider plays out, over the next few years
(e.g. PD ETF ?) - Its up to us to make the physics case that a
Proton Driver is required and that it should go
as fast as possible - Making the PHYSICS CASE is crucial in all of this
!
55CONCLUSIONS
- It seems likely that a new intense proton source
will be proposed for construction at FNAL - Similar in scope to the Main Injector Project
(cost/schedule) - A 8 GeV Synchrotron or a Superconducting Linac
appear to be both technically possible. However
the SCRF linac strongly preferred if it can be
made affordable - The FNAL management has requested that the 8 GeV
linac design be developed including cost
schedule information - A Technical Design will be developed (charge to
Bill Foster) - The Physics Case needs to be further developed
(charge to Steve Geer) - These will make it possible to submit a Proton
Driver project to the DOE for approval and
funding in the near future
