The high energy beam and the RF-separator for BEBC at the CERN-300 GeV

Abstract

A RF separated beam for BEBC using a target located in the epb tunnel at the maximum distance from BEBC is described. As it has been shown that BEBC is a useful detector for strong interaction physics up to the 100 GeV/c region of incident momenta, it is intended that the beam will separate masses the highest possible momenta (73 GeV/c K- pi ), that are a reasonably clear extension of present techniques. It is also intended to give the first part of the RF beam in the epb tunnel the capacity to transport the major part of the available proton flux to the West Area to provide a secondary target for a short neutrino beam or a lower energy separated beam installed on the floor of halls E1 and E3. The maximum unseparated momentum is 150 GeV/c. (3 refs)
