Cooling Motivation• s not occur naturally so produce them from p on target – beam – decay to
• & beam occupy diffuse phase space
)()()()()()(6 zyxD PzPyPx
•Unlike e & p beams only have limited time (=2.2s) to cool and form beams
•Neutrino Factory/Muon Collider Collaboration are pursuing a scheme whereby they cool s by directing particles through a low Z absorber material in a strong focusing magnetic channel and restoring the longitudinal momentum
•IONIZATION COOLING COOL ENERGIES O(200MeV)•Cooling factors of 106 are considered to be required for a Muon Collider and so far factors of 10-100 have been theoretically achieved through IONIZATION COOLING CHANNELS

Frictional CoolingFrictional Cooling
• Bring muons to a kinetic energy (T) range where dE/dx increases with T
• Constant E-field applied to muons resulting in equilibrium energy
Raphael Galea, Columbia UniversityNUFACT02 : Imperial College London
Problems/Comments:Problems/Comments:
• large dE/dx @ low kinetic energy • low average density
• Apply to get below the dE/dx peak• has the problem of Muonium formation
• dominates over e-stripping in all gases except He
• has the problem of Atomic capture• calculated up to 80 eV not measured below ~1KeV
• Cool ’s extracted from gas cell T=1s so a scheme for reacceleration must be developed

• In 1 d=10cm*sqrt{T(eV)}• keep d small at low T• reaccelerate quickly

Frictional Cooling: stop the
Start with low initial muon momenta
• High energy ’s travel a long distance to stop• High energy ’s take a long time to stop

Cooling scheme
•Phase rotation is E(t) field to bring as many ’s to 0 Kinetic energy as possible• Put Phase rotation into the ring
Raphael Galea, Columbia UniversityNUFACT02 : Imperial College London
Target System • cool + & - at the same time• calculated new symmetric magnet with gap for target

Target & Drift Optimize yield
• Maximize drift length for yield• Some ’s lost in Magnet aperture
Raphael Galea, Columbia UniversityNUFACT02 : Imperial College London
Phase Rotation
• First attempt simple form• Vary t1,t2 & Emax for maximum low energy yield

Simulations Improvements
•Incorporate scattering cross sections into the cooling program
•Born Approx. for T>2KeV•Classical Scattering T<2KeV
•Include - capture cross section using calculations of Cohen (Phys. Rev. A. Vol 62 022512-1)
Raphael Galea, Columbia UniversityNUFACT02 : Imperial College London
Scattering Cross Sections
•Scan impact parameter (b) to get d/d from which one can get mean free path
•Use screened Coloumb Potential (Everhart et. al. Phys. Rev. 99 (1955) 1287)
•Simulate all scatters >0.05 rad
Raphael Galea, Columbia UniversityNUFACT02 : Imperial College London
Barkas Effect
•Difference in + & - energy loss rates at dE/dx peak•Due to extra processes charge exchange•Barkas Effect parameterized data from Agnello et. al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 74 (1995) 371)
•Only used for the electronic part of dE/dx

Frictional Cooling: Particle Trajectory
•50cm long solenoid•10cm long cooling cells• gas for + 0.7atm & - 0.3atm•Ex=5MV/m•Bz=5T realistic field configuration
- use Hydrogen•Smaller Z help in capture
•Lower r fewer scatters
•BUT at higher equilibrium energy

Problems/Things to investigate…
•Extraction of s through window in gas cell •Must be very thin to pass low energy s•Must be gas tight and sustain pressures O(0.1-1)atm
• Can we applied high electric fields in small gas cell without breakdown?•Reacceleration & recombine beamlets for injection into storage ring•The capture cross section depends very sensitively on kinetic energy & fall off sharply for kinetic energies greater than e- binding energy. NO DATA – simulations use calculation

Work at NEVIS labs
•Want to measure the energy loss, - capture, test cooling principle•Developing Microchannel Plate & MWPC detectors
Raphael Galea, Columbia UniversityNUFACT02 : Imperial College London
A simpler approach
•Avoid difficulties of kickers & multiple windows•Without optimization initial attempts have 60% survival & cooling factor 105
•Still need to bunch the beam in time
Raphael Galea, Columbia UniversityNUFACT02 : Imperial College London
Conclusions
• Frictional cooling shows promise with potential cooling factors of O(105-106)– Simulations contain realistic magnet field
configurations and detailed particle tracking
– Built up a lab at Nevis to test technical difficulties
• There is room for improvement– Phase rotation and extraction field concepts very simple
– Need to evaluate a reacceleration scheme
Summary of Frictional Cooling
Nevis Labs work on - capture
•Works below the Ionization Peak•Possibility to capture both signs•Cooling factors O(106) or more? •Still unanswered questions being worked on but work is encouraging.
