In this study, we present a new cooling scheme that should meet this requirement. First, we present the conceptual design of our proposed scheme wherein we detail its basic features. Then, we present the first end-to-end simulation of 6D cooling for a Muon Collider and show a notable reduction of the 6D emittance by five orders of magnitude. Finally, we examine the influence of space-charge fields on the cooling process and present a space-charge compensation solution by means of increasing the rf gradient. We establish a quantitative relationship between the required compensation gradient and bunch charge. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
