Reference Beam Line – muon (e,P=207 MeV/c)

Beamlines for initial/calibration studies:from (a) with local momentum rescaling of the magnets[ with / without solenoid ] (infact we used the one with no DKsol for the aformetntioned reasons)electron (@150 MeV/c) used for TOF calibrationpions (@ 300 MeV/c) 1st muons seen protons (@480 MeV/c) 1st estimate of primary intensity

search for Q4-5-6 & Q7-8-9 currents to match optics at theu.s. face of the diffuser

for every chosen [3,6,10] mm rad (norm.)

at every defined P = [140,200,240] (MeV/c)

recalculated e=6mm rad, P=207

new tuning e=10 mm rad, P=207

investigate case e=3 mm rad P=207(does not converge)

PLAN: fix P=140/240 and cover the remaining empty elements

- so far beamline used for initial studies & calibrations- no solenoid reduced amount of secondaries - studies to complete the (e,P) matrix (BL tuning for all possible configurations of MICE)

-waiting for DKsol(1) and check predictions vs measurements
