Description
As one of the main proposed future colliders that will allow us to reach energy scales that can probe Beyond the Standard Model phenomena, muon colliders come with unique challenges. To achieve the desired luminosity, namely 1, 10, and 20 ab-1 for 3, 10, and 14 TeV, respectively, the six-dimensional emittance of the muon beam needs to be reduced significantly in a process described as muon cooling. The currently proposed system for muon cooling by the International Muon Collider Collaboration involves 6D initial cooling post-muon charge separation through rectilinear channels (A) before and rectilinear channels (B) after muon bunch merge, as well as a final 4D transverse cooling. This work focuses on the initial stage of cooling with B rectilinear channels. First, we will compare its cooling performance against the current rectilinear channel studied by the Muon Accelerator Program. Then, we modify parts of the channel to make it more realistic. We will evaluate the impact of these modifications on the overall performance of the rectilinear 6D cooling channel.
