Description

Muon colliders require strong beam cooling to reduce the large phase space of muon beams produced from pion decay. The final stage of ionization cooling employs high-field solenoids, absorbers, and RF cavities, where precise beam matching is essential to avoid emittance growth. In this work, we present a beam-parameter–based approach to design and optimize solenoid lattices for the final cooling channel. The method models realistic solenoid fields and solves the coupled beam envelope equation while accounting for momentum changes in absorbers and RF systems. To implement this approach efficiently, we developed the Python package coolpy, which computes the evolution of Twiss parameters and optimizes matching coil settings. Two case studies demonstrate matched beam transport in solenoid-based beamlines.
