Description

We present optimization studies for a site-specific muon production and transport demonstrator for the Muon Collider planned at Fermilab. The design considers proton beams at 0.8, 8, and 120 GeV available from Fermilab accelerator facilities. The optimization work focuses on the performance of the target system and captures solenoid, a dedicated pion decay channel, a momentum selection chicane, and a beam transport section that prepares the muon beam for subsequent cooling experiments. Using G4Beamline as the primary simulation tool, we evaluate how magnetic optics, beam energy, target configuration, and channel geometry affect pion and muon yield and their phase space at the end of the transport line. Updated results and comparisons with reference designs will be shown, along with strategies to improve acceptance and deliver a high-quality beam for ionization cooling studies. The goal of the work is to deliver an optimized and realistic design for a future demonstrator at Fermilab.
