I will be taking an assignment at DOE-HEP in Germantown for the next year as a "detailee" from LBNL. I have been working with all of you on muon-beam R&D for more than 10 years now, initially as Project Manager for the NFMCC and more recently as Co-Director of MAP. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this endeavor, as I feel it is a path to a future for HEP in general and Fermilab in particular. I will miss not only the work but the many colleagues I have come to know over the years. Especially, I have been privileged to work closely with Steve Geer in the past 18 months. I hope you will continue to give him your full support until the new MAP Director is in place. I wish all of you the best in your quest and look forward to hearing about your continued progress toward a muon collider and/or a neutrino factory. -- ********************************************************************** Michael S.

It is an expanded version containing results of a simplified system (less number of RF cavities). A very lengthy abstract is at the end of this email for those interested. The note is a first draft, but the reason for the haste is to have a chance that some of its content will make it into the ICFA Beam Dynamics Newsletter muon collider article that is currently being written with an internal deadline of Aug 1. Both doc and pdf versions have been uploaded. Thanks, Cary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract: A high-luminosity Muon Collider requires bunch recombination for optimal luminosity. In this report, we take advantage of the large slip factor in a helical transport channel (HTC) to coalesce bunches of muons into a single one over a shorter distance than can be achieved over a straight channel. To reduce complications associated with matching out of upstream and into downstream subsystems, we designed the bunch coalescing subsystem with a value for the slip factor that is representative of an existing helical cooling channel (HCC) design. Alternate designs have been developed to investigate the tradeoffs between simplifications in reducing the number of RF cavities versus performance. All key components of the bunch coalescing subsystem have been simulated in 3-D. Excluding the initial acceleration of all bunches to the desired operating energy (not simulated), the coalescing subsystems designed have a horizontal length of ~105m and are able to achieve efficiencies of 99.7%, 98.4%, and 94.2% for 9, 11, and 13 bunches, respectively, where each bunch has emittances expected at the end of a HCC. The simplified designs incorporating fill factors for RF cavities of ~25% and ~50% obtained efficiencies of 96%, 94-95%, and 90-91% for 9, 11, and 13 bunches, respectively. The efficiencies above do not include decay losses, which would be ~8% for muons with kinetic energy of 200 MeV. Following the RF capture into a single bunch, a series of radial wedges in the helical channel may be needed to reduce the longitudinal emittance (via emittance exchange afforded by allowable growth of transverse emittance) as well as reduce the operating energy to that of the second HCC. The amount of longitudinal cooling and energy reduction for the single bunch is dependent on the acceptance of the downstream HCC, which is yet to be designed. Results of the coalesced single bunch provide a starting point for an iterative process between the bunch coalescer and HCC with aim to create the shortest and most efficient integrated design that accepts a hot string of muon bunches and produces a single cooled bunch that is ready for extreme cooling (emittance exchange), acceleration, and collision with its particle counterpart at the energy frontier.

We have a standard document database (DocDB) for this purpose. There's a link to the web page (labeled "Documents") at the bottom of http://map.fnal.gov/. Please give it a try! Let me know if you have questions or difficulties.
