Description

Muon colliders offer high-luminosity, multi-TeV collisions without significant synchrotron radiation but require further exploration of muon production, acceleration, cooling, and storage techniques. A proposed 6D cooling demonstrator aims to extend the MICE experiment’s validation of transverse ionization cooling to also reduce longitudinal
emittance, using bunched muon beams and incorporating RF cavities for reacceleration. The cooling lattice includes solenoids for tight focusing, dipoles for dispersion, and wedge absorbers for differential energy loss. This paper presents a full implementation of the demonstrator 6D cooling channel in BDSIM. A detailed comparison with G4Beamline is performed for the demonstrator configuration, validating consistency in beam dynamics and cooling performance. With this validated model, BDSIM is then used to perform tolerance studies on magnet, RF-cavity, and absorber parameters, along
with an initial beam-based alignment study to inform beam-instrumentation requirements for the demonstrator.
