muCool: Towards a Much Improved Phase Space Slow Positive Muon Beam | |
|
||
Over the past decades meson production facilities have been providing powerful surface muon beams to experiments with intensities of up to several 108 mu+/s. Due to the production process in dedicated targets and the limited time, the phase space of these beams is generally poor. We are developing a tertiary beamline to decrease the phase space of a mu+ beam by a factor of 1010 with an efficiency of 10−3 . The idea is to stop the MeV muon beam in helium gas at cryogenic temperatures and compress the muon swarm by means of a gas density gradient and electric and magnetic fields in longitudinal and transversal dimensions. This talk will give an outline of the general principles behind the compression mechanism and give an update on the current experimental status.
