A high-energy high-luminosity mu+ mu- collider

Conference ·
OSTI ID:954407
We present a candidate design for a high-energy high-luminosity mu+ mu- collider, with E_cm = 4 TeV, L=10^34 cm^-2 s^-1, using only existing technology. The design uses a rapid-cycling medium-energy proton synchrotron, which produces proton beam pulses which are focused onto two pi-producing targets, with two pi-decay transport lines producing mu+'s and mu-'s. The mu's are collected, rf-rotated, cooled and compressed into a recirculating linac for acceleration, and then transferred into a storage ring collider. The keys to high luminosity are maximal mu collection and cooling; innovations with these goals are included.
