Description
Measurements of neutrino oscillations in low-energy regimes will require precise knowledge of neutrino-nucleus interaction cross sections for low-energy neutrinos. The ESSnuSB+ project aims to fill the gap in the interaction cross section data by creating a well-quantified neutrino beam from the circulation of stored muons in a low-energy racetrack decay ring, LEnuSTORM. To produce the circulating muon beam, a pion beam will be generated via the impingement of a 1.25 MW proton pulse on a target. The pions must then be focused, transported, and injected to the production straight of the decay ring wherein the pions will decay to muons.
This contribution discusses the transport of the pions from the megawatt-class target station to their injection in the ring, and considerations for maximizing the muon yield – including momentum selection, maximization of acceptance, and designing a line with minimal path length to increase pion survival whilst accommodating optics matching and layout constraints.
