## Muon Colider Task Force

- Charge from FNAL Director P.Oddone (July 2006):
- “...the Muon Collider represents a possible long term path for extending the  energy frontier in lepton collisions beyond 1 TeV.
- “...Task Force to develop a plan for an advanced R&D program aimed at the technologies required to support the long term prospects of a Muon Collider. “
- requested for September 2006: A report outlining a plan for developing the Muon Collider concept based on recent ideas in the realm of ionization cooling
- Initial proposal delivered Sep.2006
- “...to initiate the Muon Collider study, including the associated cooling channel study and development program, in 2007.”

## Muon Collider Design Options 

- Muon Collider Design Options

**Low emittance option**
**Very challenging option so far: **
**- need convincing ideas of how to incorporate RF into HCC**
**- need proof that HPRF will work under ionizing beam**
**- needs viable design for the next cooling stages – PIC/REMEX **
**- needs collider lattice design with necessary parameters**
**High emittance option**
**a rather solid ground under the feet, but not without its risks and deficiencies:**
**- high muon bunch intensity 2********10****12**** **
**- slow cooling resulting in poor muon transmission**
**- high p-driver bunch intensity**
**MCTF scenario**
**tries to alleviate the shortcoming of the high emittance option by borrowing some ideas from the low emittance option:**
**- faster 6D cooling by using HCC and/or FOFO snake**
**- bunch merging at high energy (20-30GeV)**
**- additional cooling using Fernow lattice or PIC (may become possible due to later bunch merging and lower total intensity)**
**- increased rep-rate to compensate for reduction in peak luminosity**

## MCTF Magnets Status and Plans

- Significant progress this year, largely through magnet program base support, Muons Inc. collaboration and support from MCTF/APC
- Helical cooling channel design for 6-D cooling advances
- Short demonstration HCC magnet will be built and tested in 2008 with support from Muons Inc. and MCTF/APC
- HTS conductor studies continue at Fermilab (and elsewhere) on a range of materials, as a function of field, field angle, temperature
- Paper studies of High Field Solenoids show feasibility and difficulties in building magnets beyond the 40 T range
- Plans for a National Program for HTS High Field Conductor development have begun
- Results will be presented at EPAC08 and ASC08 Conferences

## HCC experimental goals

- The current focus is on
- Develop and simulate a HCC design including RF cavities, with realistic engineering constraints
- Test high pressure RF cavity with beam
- Build and test a 4 coil HCC model magnet
- The aim is to establish the usefulness of a HCC and define a prototype HCC section to build and test in the next few years.
- Desired deliverable by MUTAC time –  cost estimate of the HCC section
- a small group is set up

## MTA Beamline

- NFMCC CM - Shiltsev

*APC coordinators:*
*B. Ashmanskas (beam to first beam stop)*
*A. Jansson (beam into hall+ RF re-route)*
*K. Yonehara (experimental requirements)*

- MTA beam project in AD/External Beams
- (C. Johnson), budget in APC (A. Bross)

- Most of the beamline was installed
- last shutdown *(F Garcia)*, need
- _linac access _to finish this year!

- RF Power + Hydrogen safety + **Beam** needed.

## RF in HCC

- $1M Question:How to include RF?
- RF inside coils?
- RF in between coils?
- RF and HCC separate?

- NFMCC CM - Shiltsev

**How much space is needed **
**between coil and cavity?**

- How to match?

- 0.4” – 1”

- coil support

- HP cavity

- coil

- insulating vacuum

- ~1.25”

- ~0.8”

- pressurized H2

## HCC simulations

- NFMCC CM - Shiltsev

- Helical solenoid coil

- RF cavity

- Window

**GH2**

- Rcoil=Rcavity

- Early simulations ignored the geometric constraints on cavity size, then assumed
- Rcavity=Rcoil
- Recent simulations indicate that Rcavity can be reduced further without much loss of acceptance!
- Need to explore the limits further
- Also need simulations of “separated function” HCC

## Scope of Initial Requests

- December 11, 2007

- APC Budget Review

- 1)  Needed to meet travel needs associated with MICE
- 2)  To move beyond initial “4 coil test” towards building an HCC section.
- to exploit HTS conductor R&D momentum initiated with SBIR, and to push ahead with initiating a national HTS magnet collaboration needed to get our feet on the ground with this technology.
- 4)  The MTA beamline estimate is 300k$. Completing the beamline so that the first HPRF test can be made in FY08 is a priority.
- 5)  Needed to complete the presently planned MUCOOL RF R&D in FY08 before the MICE solenoid arrives early FY09 ( scheduling conflict)
- Needed to extend the RF R&D to explore “magnetic insulation” against  RF breakdown.
- Needed to begin work towards bench testing an HCC 6D cooling section ... first step towards a 6D cooling experiment.
- 8) 	Beginning – smth that can grow in coming years, and establishes that accel R&D for expts (as well as machines) is supported by APC
