Scheme for Ionization Cooling for a Muon Collider
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 possible to merge the trains into single bunches: one of each sign. Further cooling in all dimensions is applied to the single bunches in further upward climbing helical lattices. Final transverse cooling to the required parameters is achieved in 50 T solenoids that use high temperature superconductor. Preliminary simulations of each element are presented. We discuss known challenges.

MICE: 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 کاملRF 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...
متن کاملEmittance Measurement in MICE
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 کاملStatus of the Mice Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment*
Muon ionization cooling is the only solution to prepare high brilliance muon beams necessary for a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). A dedicated beam line generates a range of input emittances and momenta, with time-of-flight (TOF) and Cherenkov detectors to ensure a pu...
متن کاملAn Ionization Cooling Channel for Muon Beams Based on Alternating Solenoids
The muon collider requires intense, cooled muon bunches to reach the required luminosity. Due to the limited lifetime of the muon, the cooling process must take place very rapidly. Ionization cooling seems to be our only option, given the large emittances of the muon beam from pion decay. However, this ionization cooling method has been found quite difficult to implement in practice. We describ...
