MECO Proposal at BNL → ¹2e at FNAL
MECO was
proposed at Brookhaven, but cancelled
in 2005 after ∼10 years of preparation
¹2e aims to implement MECO at Fermilab
Construction start in ∼4 years, data 4 years later
¹2e and COMET* share basic principles, but some significant design differences
- muon sign/momentum selection through collimation (“S-shaped” solenoid)
- no sign/momentum selection after stopping target
