Simulations of beam transport at FRANZ — •Ole Hinrichs, Oliver Meusel, Kerstin Sonnabend, Rene Reifarth, Daniel Noll, Malte Schwarz, Manuel Heilmann, and Stefan Schmidt — Goethe-Universität Frankfurt

The Frankfurt Neutron Source at the Stern-Gerlach-Zentrum (FRANZ) currently under construction is operated by a proton beam of up to 20 mA current with energies between 1.8 and 2.2 MeV. This facility aims to explore proton- and neutron-induced reactions of astrophysical interest. The high proton flux is well suited for studying p-nuclei. Their nucleosynthesis might yield hints on the physics of type Ia supernovae. Furthermore, FRANZ will offer the opportunity to measure radiative neutron capture reactions for the unstable branch point nuclei of the s-process.
This poster will present the current status of the beam line towards the neutron production target and the setup to measure proton-induced reactions. It will focus on simulations to optimise beam transport and phase space distribution with respect to a variable beam spot size to provide optimal experimental conditions.
This project is supported by the DFG (SO907/1-2), the Helmholtz International Center for FAIR, the Helmholtznachwuchsgruppe VH-NG-327.
