Description
The Muon Collider requires fast acceleration to preserve the intensity of the decaying muons. The current design uses a chain of four rapid-cycling synchrotrons (RCS), where tens of turns are used per ring to accelerate from 63 GeV to 5000 GeV. Because of the short muon lifetime, the design uses injection and extraction while the magnets are ramping (accelerating buckets). Due to the different machine parameters and injection on accelerating buckets, there are longitudinal mismatches at transfer between the synchrotrons. By carefully controlling the synchronous phase at transfer, the mismatch can be reduced, which is essential for preserving beam quality. This contribution details the optimisation study and its predicted effect on emittance growth through the RCS chain.
