1 Frictional Cooling A.Caldwell MPI f. Physik, Munich FNAL-27-10-2009

2 Allen Caldwell#2 Motivation: Muon Collider →compared to electrons: no synchrotron radiation problem P  (E/m) 4  very high energy circular accelerator can be built →compared to protons: colliding point particles rather than complex objects quark antiquark gluon

3 Allen Caldwell#3 COOLING  beam production Drift region for  decay  30 m Proton beam TargetSolenoidal Magnets: few T … 20 T  ’s  ’s beam description using 6D emittance (6D phase space of the beam)  6D,N  1.7  10 -4 (  m) 3 after drift estimate rms:x,y,z0.05, 0.05, 10 m p x,p y,p z 50, 50, 100 MeV required  6D,N  1.7  10 -10 (  m) 3

4 Allen Caldwell#4 Typical muon collider scheme Proton accelerator – 2-16 GeV, few MW (10 22 p/year)  production target  decay channel  accelerators  cooling channel Muon collider →standard techniques too slow →new techniques are being developed energy loses in interactions with matter reaccelerating magnetic focusing

5 Allen Caldwell#5 Frictional cooling bring muons to kinetic energy T where dE/dx increases with energy apply constant accelerating E field to muons resulting in equilibrium energy Equilibrium energy big issue – how to maintain efficiency similar idea first studied by Kottmann et al. at PSI Idea

6 Allen Caldwell#6 Frictional cooling large dT/dx at low T →low average density of stopping medium  gas  + problem – muonium formation dominates over e-stripping except for He Problems/Comments apply E  B to get below the dE/dx peak vBvB E slow  ’s don’t go far before decaying with T in eV →sideward extraction (E  B)  – problem – muon capture at low energies;  not known  keep T as high as possible

7 Allen Caldwell#7 For , energy lower by M  /M P NeutralizationStripping From Y. Nakai, T. Shirai, T. Tabata and R. Ito, At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 37, 69 (1987)

8 Allen Caldwell#8 Frictional Cooling: particle trajectory ** Using continuous energy loss

9 Allen Caldwell#9 Muon collider scheme based on frictional cooling Full MARS simulation of the proton interactions in target (Cu) showed –larger low energy  yield in transverse directions –nearly equal  + and  – yields with T < 100 MeV Not to scale !! –He gas used for  + –H gas for  – –transverse E field 5 MV/m –continuous electronic energy loss –individual nuclear scatters simulated →they result in large angles Simulations performed to this point

10 Allen Caldwell#10 Target System cool  + &  - at the same time calculated new symmetric magnet with gap for target GeV

11 Allen Caldwell#11 Full MARS target simulation, optimized for low energy muon yield: 2 GeV protons on Cu with proton beam transverse to solenoids (capture low energy pion cloud).

12 Allen Caldwell#12 Target & Drift Optimize yield Optimize drift length for  yield Some  ’s lost in Magnet aperture

13 Allen Caldwell#13 Phase Rotation First attempt simple form Vary t 1,t 2 & E max for maximum low energy yield

14 Allen Caldwell#14 He gas is used for  +, H 2 for  -. Cooling cell simulation Individual nuclear scatters are simulated – crucial in determining final phase space, survival probability. Incorporate scattering cross sections into the cooling program Include  - capture cross section using calculations of Cohen (Phys. Rev. A. Vol 62 022512-1) Electronic energy loss treated as continuous

15 Allen Caldwell#15 Scattering Cross Sections Scan impact parameter and calculate  (b), d  /d  from which one can get mean free path Use screened Coulomb Potential (Everhart et. al. Phys. Rev. 99 (1955) 1287) Simulate all scatters  >0.05 rad Simulation accurately reproduces ICRU tables for protons

16 Allen Caldwell#16 Barkas Effect Difference in  + &  - energy loss rates at dE/dx peak Due to charge exchange for  + parameterized data from Agnello et. al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 74 (1995) 371) Only used for the electronic part of dE/dx

17 Allen Caldwell#17 Simulation of the cooling cell  rms. Oscillations around equilibrium define the emittance

18 Allen Caldwell#18 Resulting emittance and yield Muon beam coming out of 11 m long cooling cell and after initial reacceleration: rms:x,y,z0.015, 0.036, 30 m p x,p y,p z 0.18, 0.18, 4.0 MeV  6D,N  5.7  10 -11 (  m) 3 →better than required 1.7  10 -10 (  m) 3 Yield  0.002  per 2 GeV proton after cooling cell →need improvement by factor of 5 or more Results for  +, still working on  -
