Mandate of the Beta-beam task group

The acceleration of high intensity, radioactive ion beams to highest energies is a new field for accelerator physics and requires novel design solutions. To date no profound studies on the subject have been made. The objective is to do a Conceptual Design Study (CDS), covering all accelerator physics aspects, to demonstrate the feasibility of a Beta Beam facility. The final report will contain: the optics design of the accelerator chain, beam dynamic simulations of critical processes, a loss management concept, first stage technical designs demonstrating the feasibility of critical hardware, a facility layout and a cost estimate.
 

The combination of EURISOL with a Beta Beam would make optimum use of the enormous potential synergies and give a world class facility attracting not only the nuclear, but also neutrino and particle physics communities.
