Cool Muon Colliders: Caltech October 9, 2001 2 Outline • Muon Colliders Motivation – History • Physics – Higgs, neutrino physics, new & old physics • Cooling obstacle – Ionization cooling – Frictional cooling http: //www. nevis. columbia. edu/~galea/mucos
Cool Muon Colliders: Caltech October 9, 2001 3 History • Concept first proposed to Budker & Skrinsky in 60’s and early 70’s • Ionization cooling developed by Skrinsky & Parkhomchuk in 1981 • Furthered by Neuffer & Palmer resulting in formation of Muon Collider collaboration in 1995 http: //www. nevis. columbia. edu/~galea/mucos
Cool Muon Colliders: Caltech October 9, 2001 4 The Future • Lepton Collider clean but limited in energy by synchrotron radiation a 1/m^4 • Hardron Collider higher energy Mp~2000 x. Me – 1/3 -1/10 energy taking part in collision – Difficult to separate the underlying event • Muon Collider – Not limited by synchrotron radiation Mm~200 x. Me – Easily scaleable – Compact machines http: //www. nevis. columbia. edu/~galea/mucos

Cool Muon Colliders: Caltech October 9, 2001 16 Ionization Cooling • Transverse Cooling • Muons lose energy by d. E/dx & replaced longitudinally by RF • High field solenoids • low Z absorbers http: //www. nevis. columbia. edu/~galea/mucos
Cool Muon Colliders: Caltech October 9, 2001 17 Longitudinal Cooling • Ionization cooling using a wedge absorber + dispersion • Exchange emittance between transverse & longitudinal direction http: //www. nevis. columbia. edu/~galea/mucos
Cool Muon Colliders: Caltech October 9, 2001 18 Frictional Cooling • Bring muons to a kinetic energy (T) range where d. E/dx increases with T • Constant E-field applied to muons resulting in equilibrium energy http: //www. nevis. columbia. edu/~galea/mucos
Cool Muon Colliders: Caltech October 9, 2001 19 Problems/Comments: • large d. E/dx @ low kinetic energy • low average density • Apply to get below the d. E/dx peak • m+ has the problem of Muonium formation • s(Mm) dominates over e-stripping s in all gases except He • m- has the problem of Atomic capture • s calculated up to 80 e. V not measured below ~1 Ke. V • Cool m’s extracted from gas cell T=1 ms so a scheme for reacceleration must be developed http: //www. nevis. columbia. edu/~galea/mucos
