The Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) at Fermilab will deliver a high-intensity, multi-megawatt neutrino beam to the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), enabling precision tests of the three-neutrino paradigm, CP violation searches, neutrino mass ordering determination, and supernova neutrino studies. To accelerate DUNE’s physics reach and ensure robust beam operations, we...
To meet PIP-II upgrade requirements, Fermilab Booster losses need to be reduced by 50\% compared to present levels. So far, simulations are not good enough to predict loss patterns. Thus, an extensive Booster tune up will be necessary to achieve required performance. In this paper we present an effort to build a data-driven loss model using Bayesian techniques, and subsequently to rebalance...
This work presents advancements in precision longitudinal beam diagnostics for Free Electron Lasers (FELs), integrating zero-bias Schottky-diode-based THz detectors and upgraded electro-optical bunch arrival-time monitors (EO-BAMs) for low-charge operation. The developed THz detector achieves ps-scale response times and 70 GHz intermediate-frequency bandwidth, enabling single-shot THz...
