Title Six-Dimensional Muon Beam Cooling Using Energy Loss in a Helical Channel
Abstract The fast reduction of the six-dimensional phase space of muon beams is an essential requirement for muon colliders and also of great importance for neutrino factories based on accelerated muon beams.Considered cooling scheme involves the use of a continuous gaseous hydrogen absorber and a magnetic channel composed of a solenoidal field with superimposed helical transverse dipole and quadrupole fields. All momentum components of muons passing through the channel are degraded by an energy absorbing material and only the longitudinal momentum is restored by RF cavities, which yields a quick reduction of transverse beam sizes.In such a channel higher momentum muons cover longer path length and therefore experience larger ionization energy loss, which provides the desired emittance exchange mechanism.Recent theoretical work predicts exceptional six dimensional cooling in such a channel filled with a continuous hydrogen gas absorber [1]. Here we study the same channel, but without RF r
