3
Physics at a Muon Collider Stopped physics physics Higgs Factory Higher Energy Frontier Muon Collider Complex: Proton Driver 2-16GeV; 1-4MW leading to 10 22 p/year production target & Strong Field Capture COOLING resultant beam acceleration Storage & collisions
4
Cooling Motivation s not occur naturally so produce them from p on target – beam – decay to & beam occupy diffuse phase space Unlike e & p beams only have limited time ( =2.2 s) to cool and form beams Neutrino Factory/Muon Collider Collaboration are pursuing a scheme whereby they cool s by directing particles through a low Z absorber material in a strong focusing magnetic channel and restoring the longitudinal momentum IONIZATION COOLING COOL ENERGIES O(200MeV) Cooling factors of 10 6 are considered to be required for a Muon Collider and so far factors of 10-100 have been theoretically achieved through IONIZATION COOLING CHANNELS
5
Frictional Cooling Bring muons to a kinetic energy (T) range where dE/dx increases with T Constant E-field applied to muons resulting in equilibrium energy
6
Problems/Comments: large dE/dx @ low kinetic energy low average density Apply to get below the dE/dx peak has the problem of Muonium formation dominates over e-stripping in all gases except He has the problem of Atomic capture calculated up to 80 eV not measured below ~1KeV Cool ’s extracted from gas cell T=1 s so a scheme for reacceleration must be developed
7
Frictional Cooling: particle trajectory ** Using continuous energy loss In 1 d =10cm*sqrt{T(eV)} keep d small at low T reaccelerate quickly
8
Frictional Cooling: stop the Start with low initial muon momenta High energy ’s travel a long distance to stop High energy ’s take a long time to stop
9
Cooling scheme Phase rotation is E(t) field to bring as many ’s to 0 Kinetic energy as possible Put Phase rotation into the ring
10
Target Study Cu & W, Ep=2GeV, target 0.5cm thick

Simulations Improvements Incorporate scattering cross sections into the cooling program Born Approx. for T>2KeV Classical Scattering T<2KeV Include - capture cross section using calculations of Cohen (Phys. Rev. A. Vol 62 022512-1)
21
Scattering Cross Sections Scan impact parameter (b) to get d /d from which one can get mean free path Use screened Coloumb Potential (Everhart et. al. Phys. Rev. 99 (1955) 1287) Simulate all scatters >0.05 rad
22
Barkas Effect Difference in + & - energy loss rates at dE/dx peak Due to extra processes charge exchange Barkas Effect parameterized data from Agnello et. al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 74 (1995) 371) Only used for the electronic part of dE/dx

Beamlet coordinates: X 100 beamlets
33
Problems/Things to investigate… Extraction of s through window in gas cell Must be very thin to pass low energy s Must be gas tight and sustain pressures O(0.1-1)atm Can we applied high electric fields in small gas cell without breakdown? Reacceleration & recombine beamlets for injection into storage ring The capture cross section depends very sensitively on kinetic energy & fall off sharply for kinetic energies greater than e - binding energy. NO DATA – simulations use calculation Critical path item intend to make measurement
