IsoDAR@Yemilab: Preliminary design report—volume II (beam transport, neutrino source, and shielding)
Abstract This Preliminary Design Report (PDR) describes the IsoDAR electron-antineutrino source in two volumes which are mostly site-independent and describe the cyclotron driver providing a 60 MeV, 10 mA proton beam (Volume I); and the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line and target (this Volume). The IsoDAR driver and target will produce about $$1.15\cdot 10^{23}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1.15</mml:mn> <mml:mo>·</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mn>10</mml:mn> <mml:mn>23</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> electron-antineutrinos over 5 calendar years. Paired with a kton-scale liquid scintillator detector, this will enable a broad particle physics program including searches for new symmetries, new interactions and new particles. Here in Volume II, we describe the Medium Energy Beam Transport line, the antineutrino source beam-target and surrounding sleeve, shielding, and plans for monitoring and installation.
