Description

The muon collider has great potential for enabling high-luminosity multi-TeV lepton–
antilepton collisions provided low-emittance, high-intensity muon beams can be
produced. Ionization cooling is the proposed technique to achieve the required muon
beam emittance. The International Muon Collider Collaboration aims to demonstrate the
integration and reliable operation of a 6D ionization cooling system, including RF
acceleration in strong magnetic fields. This study advances the design of the muon
production and transport systems for a Muon Cooling Demonstrator implemented in the
CERN CTF3 building. Building on previous work, the design is extended to finalise the
beam-preparation section and the matching of the transport line into the cooling channel.
The target–horn model has been further optimised and now incorporates a forced-
convection helium cooling system, providing a more mature and realistic representation.
An extended FLUKA model of the target area is used to assess and optimise shielding
requirements.
