Design and Simulation

Base design, v3 Benchmarks.

<<Complete by March 16>>

• Need new benchmarks (accounting for updated geometry (dump, HRS) and SAMS
  • for PREX-I, HAPPEX-II, PREX-2, CREX (and others?)
  • on HRS detectors, under HRS detectors, Hall Lid or Hall Wall total ("whole hall"), and Hall Lid skyshine estimates
• prex2-v3:
  • prex-2 dump, with shield
  • no SAMS, or alternative SAMs?
• crex2-v3:
  • (same with 48Ca target and 2.1 GeV)
• prex1-"??name??"
  • PREX-I collimator
  • PREX-I chamber? (not as important)
  • PREX-I dump (with KW correction)
  • no HDPE, no SkyshineShield
  • Full size HRS det and structure, match prex2
  • FULL PREX-I SAMS
• HAPPEX-II - ??name??
  • HAPPEX-II collimator (same as PREX-I?)
  • PREX-I dump (with KW correction)

Magnetic Shielding

• Evaluate B-field in Q1 beampipe with only one Q1 energized
• Evaluate the Tritium-Magnetic-shield design
• Evaluate mag shield additions for upstream/downstream septum beampipe

O-Ring damage

• Plots:
  • E-weighted, electron only plots from beamline det an o-ring det
  • tables to arrive at integrated grays
  • hall-lid det x0/y0 plot to show enhancement from full SAMS
• get info on O-ring from engineering. (material, lifetime expectations, also when did this appear?)
• Full base design (Feb18), but w/o dump shield
  • Use Al around O-ring
    • No SAMS
    • PREX-I SAMS
  • test 1/2 size O-ring (PREX) (PREX-I SAMS)
    • Done, but dumb results. Compare 1/2 size O-ring with 1/2 of full size O-ring.
  • test no material around O-ring (PREX) (PREX-I SAMS)
  • CREX
    • No SAMS
    • PREX-I SAMS
  • check beam-offset run
• Results for alternative SAM configs
• Final estimate use full base design (Feb18), including dump shield
  • PREX-2
  • CREX

SAM redesign

Thermal Neutrons:

• count thermal/near thermal (<1eV rate), assume 8MeV / n energy release, compare to E&M power
• plot sources of thermal neutrons in hall, using hall-lid and HRS-platform detectors
• consider effect of 5% boron
• calculate thermal neutrons at Compton polarimeter

Polarimeter doses

• Evaluate dose and neutron rates (both thermal and above) at Moller and Compton locations
  • Moller target holder uses o-ring (evaluate dose)
