DESIGN STATUS OF THE ESSνSB SWITCHYARD

The feasibility of the distribution of 5 MW proton beam power pulsed at 70 Hz onto a 4-target station for the production of neutrino super beams is discussed. To deflect and focus the beam having a magnetic rigidity of 11.0 Tm onto the targets, different configurations of beam switchyard are proposed and compared. The number of dipoles and quadrupoles composing this system is defined for each scenario. The length, the aperture, the magnetic fields and the field gradients of these optical elements are determined. The code TraceWin is used to simulate and optimize the envelopes of the beam along the beam lines. The transverse emittances at the exit of the system are shown.
