Low emittance muon accelerator studies with production from positrons on target
Abstract
A new scheme to produce very low emittance muon beams using a positron beam of about 45~GeV interacting on electrons on target is presented. One of the innovative topics to be investigated is the behaviour of the positron beam stored in a low emittance ring with a thin target, that is directly inserted in the ring chamber to produce muons. Muons can be immediately collected at the exit of the target and transported to two and accumulator rings and then accelerated and injected in muon collider rings. We focus in this paper on the simulation of the e beam interacting with the target, the effect of the target on the 6-D phase space and the optimization of the e ring design to maximize the energy acceptance. We will investigate the performance of this scheme, ring plus target system, comparing different multi-turn simulations. The source is considered for use in a multi-TeV collider in ref.[1]
