EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH CERN - PS DIVISION CERN/PS 2002-076 (PP) CERN NUFACT Note 119 MUON PHASE ROTATION AND COOLING: SIMULATION WORK AT CERN

We present simulation work performed at CERN and collaborating institutes concerning the muon front-end of a neutrino factory and a possible muon cooling experiment. The front-end in the CERN scheme of a neutrino factory has been revised, eliminating the 44 MHz cavities and starting directly with 88 MHz. Two options for a muon cooling experiment have been studied, one based on the 88 MHz CERN cooling channel, one based on the 200 MHz super FOFO channel of the US study II design. A figure of merit for the cooling efficiency is discussed. Neutrino Factory Conference, 1-6 July 2002, London, UK Geneva, Switzerland 9 October 2002
