Description
Muon beams are powerful research tools with applications in both particle physics and condensed matter physics. However, surface muon beams suffer from high emittance. Several facilities (PSI, RAL, J-PARC) are developing cooling devices to mitigate this issue, but these devices inevitably reduce the beam’s kinetic energy. To address this challenge, the project explores a compact muon cyclotron design, adapted from the IsoDAR project, to reaccelerate muons emerging from the MuCool device. Preliminary OPAL simulations show promising results.
