Improved Momentum Spread For Precision Physics Experiments Using Wedges, Nick Amato
Improved Momentum Spread For Precision Physics Experiments Using Wedges, Nick Amato
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
High precision experiments have become key in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. One measurement that can be made in order to expand our knowledge of the Standard Model is the precise measurement of the magnetic dipole moment (MDM) of the muon. In order to perform this precise measurement of the MDM of muons, the storage of particles with a precisely known momentum in a highly uniform magnetic field is required.
This thesis is focused on how one may use a wedge of energy absorbing material and the optical parameters of an accelerator lattice to improve upon the …
