The decay of muons to neutrinos and electrons can cause heating in the superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles in the muon collider acceleration rings and the colliding beam ring. The problem is particularly acute in the colliding beam ring where heating in the magnets can be high as 2.4 kW per meter in the bending magnets of muon collider ring with 2 TeV mu minus beams with 2.22{times}10{sup 12} particles per bunch at a repetition rate of 30 Hz. The energy deposited within the helium temperature region must be reduced at least three orders of magnitude in order for the refrigeration system to begin to keep up with the heat load. Beam heating from muon decay will require changes in dipole design from traditional cosine theta (or intersecting ellipse) design used in the SSC magnets. Some dipole and quadrupole design options are presented in this report for both the accelerator rings and the colliding beam rings.
