Affordable, Scalable, and Convincing 6-d Muon Cooling Demonstrations | |
|

The number of applications that could benefit from effective, affordable muon cooling include stopping muon beams for rare decay searches and spin resonance, intermediate energy beams for neutrino factories and cargo scanning, and muon colliders for HIggs factories and the energy frontier. The simple ionization cooling equation implies that if you have a low-Z energy absorber in a strong magnetic field, sufficient RF to contain the beam and replace the lost energy, and some mechanism for emittance exchange, you can achieve low 6-d emittance down to the limit implied by multiple scattering. The first cooling simulations that were based on a ring were exciting and encouraging. Unfortunately, injection difficulties, beam loading of RF cavities and energy absorbers, and the need to modify cooling parameters as the beam cools have led us away from a ring towards a cooling channel. An effective demonstration experiment must show that the final muon beam parameters to achieve the required luminosity can be achieved at an acceptable cost. We discuss the possibility that a demonstration experiment is a section of a practical, high performance cooling channel. | ||

Proposed next-generation muon collider will require major technical advances to achieve the rapid muon beam cooling requirements. Parametric-resonance Ionization Cooling (PIC) is proposed as the final 6D cooling stage of a high-luminosity muon collider. In PIC, a half-integer parametric resonance causes strong focusing of a muon beam at appropriately placed energy absorbers while ionization cooling limits the beam's angular spread. Combining muon ionization cooling with parametric resonant dynamics in this way should then allow much smaller final transverse muon beam sizes than conventional ionization cooling alone. One of the PIC challenges is compensation of beam aberrations over a sufficiently wide parameter range while maintaining the dynamical stability with correlated behavior of the horizontal and vertical betatron motion and dispersion. We explore use of a coupling resonance to reduce the dimensionality of the problem and to shift the dynamics away from non-linear resonances. PIC simulations are presented. |

TUPF09 | Decoupling and Matching of Electron Cooling Section in the MEIC Ion Collider Ring | 116 |
|
||
To get a luminosity level of 1033 cm-2 s-1 at all design points of the MEIC, small transverse emittance is necessary in the ion collider ring, which is achieved by an electron cooling. And for the electron cooling, two solenoids are used to create a cooling environment of temperature exchange between electron beam and ion beam. However, the solenoids can also cause coupling and matching problem for the optics of the MEIC ion ring lattice. Both of them will have influences on the IP section and other areas, especially for the beam size, Twiss parameters, and nonlinear effects. A symmetric and flexible method is used to deal with these problems. With this method, the electron cooling section is merged into the ion ring lattice elegantly. | ||
