MANX: A 6D Ionization-Cooling Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
Six-dimensional ionization cooling of muons is essential for muon colliders and possibly beneficial for neutrino factories. An experiment to demonstrate six-dimensional ionization cooling using practical apparatus is presented. It exploits recent innovative ideas that may lead to six-dimensional muon-cooling channels with emittance reduction approaching that needed for high-luminosity muon colliders.

Advances in Parametric-resonance Ionization Cooling
The concept of combining ionization cooling with parametric resonances (PIC) was proposed earlier [1] in order to lead to an additional reduction of muon transverse emittances by an order of magnitude so that high luminosity in a collider can be achieved with fewer muons per bunch. After 6D cooling performed in a Helical Cooling Channel, the muon beam is injected in a channel with alternating d...
متن کاملMuon Ionisation Cooling Experiment MICE
The Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) is currently under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. MICE will prove the technology necessary for muon ionisation cooling. In ionisation cooling, particle beam emittance is reduced by passage through an energy absorbing medium and RF cavities. In its final configuration, MICE will consist of a 5.5 metre cell of an ionisation coolin...
متن کاملMICE: The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment∗
Muon storage rings have been proposed for use as a source of high-energy neutrino beams (the Neutrino Factory) and as the basis for a high-energy lepton-antilepton collider (the Muon Collider). The Neutrino Factory is widely believed to be the machine of choice for the search for leptonic CP violation while the Muon Collider may prove to be the most practical route to multi-TeV lepton-antilepto...
متن کاملPion contamination in the MICE muon beam
The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will perform a systematic investigation of ionization cooling with muon beams of momentum between 140 and 240 MeV/c at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory ISIS facility. The measurement of ionization cooling in MICE relies on the selection of a pure sample of muons that traverse the experiment. To make this selection, the MICE Muon Beam...
متن کاملHelical Channels for Longitudinal Compression of Muon Beams
Transverse cooling of muon beams can be achieved through ionization cooling. However, longitudinal emittance growth occurs as a by-product of this method; at the muon energy of choice, low energy muons suffer enhanced energy loss. Even a small amount of longitudinal cooling would be advantageous for a neutrino factory, while longitudinal cooling by a factor of 100 is required for a muon collide...
