MOP030	Muon Capture for the Front End of a μ+μ- Collider	157
	D.V. Neuffer Fermilab, Batavia, USA C. Y. Yoshikawa Muons, Inc, Batavia, USA
	We discuss the design of the muon capture front end for a μ±μ- Collider. In the front end, a proton bunch on a target creates secondary pions that drift into a capture transport channel, decaying into muons. A sequence of rf cavities forms the resulting muon beams into strings of bunches of differing energies, aligns the bunches to (nearly) equal central energies, and initiates ionization cooling. The muons are then cooled and accelerated to high energy into a storage ring for high-energy high luminosity collisions. Our initial design is based on the somewhat similar front end of the International Design Study (IDS) neutrino factory.

For a muon collider, the resulting train of bunches should be coalesced into a single bunch. Design concepts for a system to capture, cool, and coalesce a muon beam are described here. In particular, variants of a helical channel are used, taking advantage of the ability to vary the slip factor and other parameters of such a channel. The cooling application has been described before; this paper reports recent studies of a system that includes two novel concepts to accomplish capture and coalescing via a slip-controlled helical channel.
