Incorporating RF into a Muon Helical Cooling Channel

Conference · · Conf.Proc.C
OSTI ID:1973947
A helical cooling channel (HCC) consisting of a pressurized gas absorber imbedded in a magnetic channel that provides solenoidal, helical dipole and helical quadrupole fields has shown considerable promise in providing six-dimensional cooling for muon beams. The energy lost by muons traversing the gas absorber needs to be replaced by inserting RF cavities into the HCC lattice. Replacing the substantial muon energy losses using RF cavities with reasonable gradients will require a significant fraction of the channel length to be devoted to RF. However to provide the maximum phase space cooling and minimum muon losses, the HCC should have a short period and length. In this paper we examine an approach where each HCC cell has an RF cavity imbedded in the aperture where the magnetic coils are split to allow for half of the cell length to be available for the RF coupler and other services.
