THPC110 | Investigation of Helical Cooling Channel | 3233 |
|
||
A helical cooling channel (HCC) has been proposed to quickly reduce phase space of muon beams*. It is composed of solenoidal and helical coils to provide focusing and dispersion needed for the six-dimension cooling. A comprehensive investigation of the HCC is performed in presented work including theoretical analysis, particle tracking and Monte Carlo simulation. These results are also compared with the past simulation results** to confirm the helical cooling theory. Optimization of the channel and estimation of its ultimate performances are presented.
