Description
Having an initial cooling stage is essential to reducing the 6D beam emittance early in the channel. Traditional cooling schemes use dipole fields to generate dispersion, selectively passing higher-momentum particles through more absorbing material. The problem with this approach is the charge-specificity of the dispersion function -- necessitating separate channels for $\mu^+$ and $\mu^-$. Here, the Helical FOFO Snake (HFOFO) is presented as an alternative approach to 6D cooling that agnostically treats both signs of muon, enabling a single initial cooling channel for both.
