Description

The future multi-TeV muon collider facility will employ a superconducting radiofrequency (RF) system with thousands of cavities in the rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) chain. This RF system, common to both beams, will accelerate two counter-rotating $\mu^+$ and $\mu^-$ bunches simultaneously. Due to the high intensity of up to $2.7 \times 10^{12}$ particles per bunch, the induced voltage in both the fundamental and several higher-order modes is significant. A strong impact on longitudinal beam quality and the luminosity in the collider is expected. Modelling wake potentials in the RF system of the RCS chain is challenging. The long-range wakefields will interact with both the co- and counter-rotating bunches due to the high quality factor and corresponding long decay constants of the fields in the cavities. These two-beam interactions are studied, with particular attention to the specificities caused by the directionality of the induced fields.
