An Emittance Diagnostic Channel for R&D on the Front End of a Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the analytic estimates developed for the emittance diagnostic channel for the finalstage cooling experiment, we conclude that diagnostics for both an initial-stage cooling experiment, and for the targetry experiment could be performed with a bent solenoid of 1.25 T field strength. The solenoid bore would need to be at least 35 cm for the initial-stage cooling experiment, and at least 50 cm for the targetry experiment. The cost of such magnet systems is estimated to be $1M, including the straight sections needed for field uniformity over the TPC’s. The cost of the magnets is about half that for a diagnostic channel of final-stage cooling.

RF R&D for Muon Ionization Cooling Channels
Large emittance muon beam must be reduced or cooled both longitudinally and transversely before it can be accelerated in an accelerator complex for a neutrino factory or a muon collider. In practice, ionization cooling is considered to be one of the most promising transverse cooling schemes for muon beams. When traversing an ionization cooling channel, which consists of absorbers and low freque...

A muon collider [1] may be the optimal way to study high-energy lepton-antilepton collisions, and a neutrino factory [2] based on a muon storage ring may be the ideal tool for the study of neutrino oscillation and the search for leptonic CP violation. Ionization cooling [3, 4], while not yet experimentally demonstrated, is essential for highluminosity muon colliders and has been shown by simula...
متن کاملThe Muon Front End for the Neutrino Factory
In the Neutrino Factory, muons are produced by firing high energy protons onto a target to produce pions. The pions decay to muons and pass through a capture channel known as the muon front end, before acceleration to 12.6 GeV. The muon front end comprises a variable frequency RF system for longitudinal capture and an ionisation cooling channel. In this paper we detail recent improvements in th...
متن کاملScheme for Ionization Cooling for a Muon Collider
We discuss a complete scheme for production and cooling a muon beam for three specified Muon Colliders. We outline the parameters for these Muon Colliders. The scheme starts with the front end of a proposed Neutrino Factory that yields bunch trains of both muon signs. Emittance exchange cooling in upward or downward broad helical lattices reduces the longitudinal emittance until it becomes poss...
متن کاملProducing an Intense, Cool Muon Beam via e+e− Annihilation∗
We consider a highly unconventional approach to generating muon and antimuon bunches for a neutrino factory or muon collider: electronpositron annihilation just above muon-antimuon threshold. This approach can produce low-emittance bunches at high energy, easing the muoncooling and acceleration challenges in such facilities. However, the small (< 1μb) useable production cross section means that...
