Status of the Slow Extraction Commissioning for the Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab

Poster-In-person

Abstract

We present the current status of slow-extraction commissioning for the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab. The system employs third-integer resonant extraction of 8 GeV protons from the Delivery Ring to deliver a uniform, slow-spilled beam to the production target. During recent commissioning periods, we achieved stable optics, reproducible injection and energy matching, and consistent multi-spill operation. The sextupole circuits and fast-ramping quadrupoles were exercised near nominal resonance conditions, yielding promising extraction performance. A prototype spill-regulation system based on the ARIA-10 SoC was commissioned with integrated diagnostics, demonstrating closed-loop operation and establishing the framework for PID- and RFKO-based control. These commissioning results lay the foundation for achieving precision-regulated, high-quality slow extraction in upcoming Mu2e operations.
