We have developed a new method for capture, bunching and phase-energy rotation of secondary beams from a proton source, using high-frequency rf systems. The method is the baseline for muon capture in the International scoping study for a neutrino factory. In this method, a proton bunch on a target creates secondaries that drift into a capture transport channel. A sequence of rf cavities forms the resulting muon beams into strings of bunches of differing energies, aligns the bunches to (nearly) equal central energies, and initiates ionization cooling. For the International Design Study the method must be optimized for performance and cost, and variations will be explored. In this paper we present results of optimization and variation studies toward obtaining the maximum number of muons for a neutrino factory, as well as for a future muon collider.
