Description
A top priority for muon collider development is the creation of a demonstrator project to establish the feasibility of cooling a muon beam to the required emittance for a collider. The experiments designed for this demonstrator must present evidence of an appropriate reduction in transverse emittance that is robust enough to convince the physics community of the viability of a full collider. Alongside experiments both upstream and downstream from the cooling channel itself, instrumentation along the beamline is necessary to monitor the beam for daily variations and to tune magnets and RF cavities along its path. Beam instrumentation must measure spatial distribution on the order of milimeters and bunch timing structure on the order of nanoseconds, and be non-destructive. However, a beam in the cooling demonstrator is expected to have ~$10^6 - 10^7$ muons per bunch, too few to get a strong enough signal with conventional non-destructive beam monitoring systems, such as multi-wire beam profile monitors. We examine possible alternative non-destructive beam instrumentation, and discuss the development of a Digital Twin to compare with future physical detector systems.
