Optimization of the Target for Muon Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the design of the target for pion production and energy deposition for the muon-muon collider using the nuclear cascade codes. Heat removal from high-energy deposition in the target is discussed, together with the use of a target compressed by a laser, or lightand heavyions drivers. The latter approach needs further technological development, but it can reduce substantially the energy needed to collect and control the produced muons.

A Rotating Metal Band Target for Pion Production at Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders
A conceptual design is presented for a high power pion production target for neutrino factories and muon colliders that is based on a rotating metal band of either inconel alloy 718, titanium alloy 6Al-4V grade 5 or nickel. The band is 5 meters in diameter and is tangentially intercepted by a pulsed proton beam inside a 20 Tesla tapered solenoidal magnetic pion capture channel. The mechanical l...
متن کاملRotating Metal Band Target for Pion Production at Muon Colliders and Neutrino Factories
A conceptual design is presented for a high power pion production target for muon colliders that is based on a rotating metal band. Three candidate materials are considered for the target band: Inconel alloy 718, titanium alloy 6Al-4V (grade 5) and nickel. A pulsed proton beam tangentially intercepts a chord of the target band that is inside a 20 tesla tapered solenoidal magnetic pion capture c...
متن کاملCoherent e + e − pair creation at high energy muon colliders . ∗
It is shown that at muon colliders with the energy in the region of 100 TeV the process of coherent pair creation by the muon in the field of the opposing beam becomes important and imposes some limitations on collider parameters. One of the main advantages of muon colliders is that the muon is much heavier than the electron and therefore the radiation (beamstrahlung) in beam collisions is supp...
متن کاملMuon Collider Progress
A complete scheme for muon production, cooling, acceleration and storage in a collider ring is presented. Parameters for two muon colliders are given. Both start with pion production on a mercury target. A capture and phase rotation yields bunch trains of both muon signs. Six dimensional cooling reduces the longitudinal emittance until it becomes possible to merge the trains into single bunches...
متن کاملRotating Band Pion Production Targets for Muon Colliders and Neutrino Factories
An update is presented on a conceptual design for a pion production target station using a rotating cupronickel band and that was originally proposed for use at a muon collider facility with a 4 MW pulsed proton beam. After reviewing the salient design features and motivations for this target, ongoing studies are described that are attempting to benchmark the thermal stresses and radiation dama...
