A helical cooling channel (HCC) consisting of a pressurized gas absorber imbedded in a magnetic channel that provides solenoidal, helical dipole and helical quadrupole fields has shown considerable promise in providing six-dimensional cooling for muon beams. The energy lost by muons traversing the gas absorber needs to be replaced by inserting RF cavities into the lattice. Replacing the substantial muon energy losses using RF cavities with reasonable gradients will require a significant fraction of the channel length be devoted to RF. However, to provide the maximum phase space cooling and minimal muon losses, the helical channel should have a short period and length. In this paper we shall examine three approaches to include RF cavities into the HCC lattice: - Use higher frequency cavities that can be placed inside the magnetic channel,
- Interleave cavities between magnetic coil rings, and
- Place banks of RF cavities between segments of HCC channels.
Each of these approaches has positive and negative features that need to be evaluated in selecting the proper concept for including RF into the HCC system.
