A Neutrino Factory or a Muon Collider represents a potential future direction for the U.S. high-energy physics community. These challenging machines make use of stored beams of muons—a particle that is difficult to produce and has a short lifetime of only 2.2 μs at rest. The U.S. Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration (NFMCC), comprising some 130 scientists from national laboratories, universities, and SBIR companies, has been carrying out a focused R&D program aimed at: producing conceptual designs for such facilities, developing and testing the required machine components, and carrying out system tests of a few key subsystems of such facilities. In this document we summarize the R&D progress made during FY2008 and indicate the plans and milestones for FY2009. Because our University groups (IIT, Princeton, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC-Riverside, and U-Mississippi) all turn in detailed annual progress reports and summaries, and our SBIR partners (Muons, Inc., PBL, and Tech-X) write proposals that are reviewed by DOE, this document will cover only the status of the national laboratory programs (including the “sponsoring laboratories, BNL, FNAL, and LBNL, and the other laboratories with whom we collaborate, ANL, Jlab, and ORNL).
