TL;DR
The paper discusses the commissioning process of Fermilab's Muon g-2 Experiment, focusing on the beam injection methods and performance estimates through simulations to prepare for precise muon magnetic moment measurements.
Contribution
It introduces a commissioning scenario with a simplified beam passage, supported by numerical simulations estimating the experiment's expected performance.
Findings
Performance estimates from simulations indicate effective commissioning strategies.
Skipping the DR passage during commissioning can still yield valuable data.
The approach facilitates efficient preparation for the main experimental run.
Abstract
Starting this summer, Fermilab will host a key experiment dedicated to the search for signals of new physics: The Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment. Its aim is to precisely measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In full operation, in order to avoid contamination, the newly born secondary beam is injected into a 505 m long Delivery Ring (DR) wherein it makes several revolutions before being sent to the experiment. Part of the commissioning scenario will execute a running mode wherein the passage from the DR will be skipped. With the aid of numerical simulations, we provide estimates of the expected performance.
