The Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory muon front end consists of a pion decay channel and longitudinal drift, followed by an adiabatic buncher, phase rotation system and ionization cooling lattice. The present design is based on the lattice presented in the Neutrino Factory Study 2A report [1] and subsequently the International Scoping Study [2] with several modifications: the taper from the target solenoid has been adjusted; the drift, buncher and phase rotation solenoid field strength has been reduced from 1.75 T to 1.5 T; the whole system has been shortened; and the thickness of lithium hydride absorbers in the cooling section has been increased. These changes result in the same muon capture performance in a shorter bunch train, reducing requirements on some systems downstream of the muon front end.
