Design of a Magnet System for a Muon Cooling Ring

S. Kahn, H. Kirk, F. Mills, D. Cline, A. Garren

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

A hydrogen gas filled storage ring appears to be a promising approach to reducing the emittance of a muon beam for use in a neutrino factory or a muon collider. A small muon cooling ring is being studied to test the feasibility of cooling by this method. This paper describes the magnet system to circulate the muons. The magnet design is optimized to produce a large dynamic aperture to contain the muon beam with minimum losses. Muons are tracked through the field to verify the design.
