Description
Muons offer several advantages for circular colliders: as leptons, they allow for high-precision and similar physics reach as larger hadron colliders, while their higher mass suppresses the synchrotron radiation that limits circular electron colliders. The main challenge of muon colliders is the short lifetime of muons. Muon decay generates an intense neutrino flux emitted in a narrow cone tangential to the beam trajectory. To keep the resulting radiation at the Earth’s surface negligible, dedicated mitigation strategies are required. Besides minimizing straight sections, the main mitigation measure under consideration is to periodically deform the beam trajectory and collider ring vertically to spread the neutrino flux over a larger area. This can be achieved by installing all ring magnets on a mechanical system allowing to move them regularly and adding horizontal magnetic field components. However, this affects the collider optics, especially since it introduces vertical dispersion that must be properly matched across the lattice. The present work presents the first studies on the impact of such vertical periodic deformation on beam dynamics and collider performance.
