A Muon Collider Scheme Based on Frictional Cooling
نویسنده
چکیده
Muon Colliders would usher in a new era of scientific investigation in the field of high energy particle physics. The cooling of muon beams is proving to be the greatest obstacle in the realization of a Muon Collider. Monte Carlo simulations of a muon cooling scheme based on Frictional Cooling were performed. Critical issues, which require further study, relating to the technical feasibility of such a scheme are identified. Frictional Cooling, as outlined in this paper, provides sufficient sixdimensional emittance to make luminous collisions possible. It holds exciting potential in solving the problem of Muon Cooling.

متن کاملAn Intense Low Energy Muon Source for the Muon Collider
A scheme for obtaining an intense source of low energy muons is described. It is based on the production of pions in a high field magnetic bottle trap. By ensuring efficient slowing down and extraction of the decay muons an intense intermediate energy muon beam is obtained. For the specific case of negative muons a novel technique called frictional accumulation provides efficient conversion int...
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 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 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...
