	Muon cooling is the greatest obstacle for producing an intensive muon beam. The frictional cooling method holds promise for delivering low-energy muon beams with narrow energy spreads. We outline a sphere cooler scheme based on frictional cooling to effectively produce such a “cold” muon beam. As an example source, we take the parameters of a surface muon source available at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Simulation results show that the sphere cooler has an efficiency of 50% to produce a “cold” muon beam with an energy spread of 0.9 keV. The high quality beam can potentially meet the requirements of a neutrino factory or a muon collider.

Muon cooling is the greatest obstacle for producing an intensive muon beam. The frictional cooling method holds promise for delivering low-energy muon beams with narrow energy spreads. We outline a sphere cooler scheme based on frictional cooling to effectively produce such a “cold” muon beam. As an example source, we take the parameters of a surface muon source available at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Simulation results show that the sphere cooler has an efficiency of 50% to produce a “cold” muon beam with an energy spread of 0.9 keV. The high quality beam can potentially meet the requirements of a neutrino factory or a muon collider.
