Description
Compressing high-intensity proton beams is of interest in several types of accelerator experiments, e.g. spallation sources, neutrino factories, and muon colliders. For the Muon Collider project, the high average power of 2 MW and final bunch length of 2 ns required before the target make this compression challenging. In this paper, an alternative compression scheme to the baseline design of an accumulator followed by a compressor ring is presented. In this new scheme, only the compressor ring is used to compress a series of bunch trains with specific energy correlations, created by the use of off-frequency cavities in the Linac. The parameter choices for Linac and compressor ring were studied to identify an ideal working point, which is compared to the baseline design. Simulations including lattice non-linearities and space charge were performed, in order to evaluate the limitations of the method.
