Pulsed-Focusing Recirculating Linacs for Muon Acceleration
Conference

OSTI ID:1999571
Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders require rapid acceleration of short-lived muons to multi-GeV and TeV energies. A Recirculating Linear Accelerator (RLA) that uses International Linear Collider (ILC) RF structures can provide exceptionally fast and economical acceleration to the extent that the focusing range of the RLA quadrupoles allows each muon to pass several times through each high-gradient cavity. A new concept of rapidly changing the strength of the RLA focusing quadrupoles as the muons gain energy is being developed to increase the number of passes that each muon will make in the RF cavities, leading to greater cost effectiveness. We discus the optics and technical requirements for RLA designs, using RF cavities capable of simultaneous acceleration of both mu+ and mu- species, with pulsed Linac quadrupoles to allow the maximum number of passes.
