Research
into Muon Cooling
The
Muon Collaboration has been pursuing an R&D program designed to produce
muon beams suitable for storage rings.
These rings can eventually be sources for highly directed intense
neutrino beams or, in the case of counter-circulating muon beams, result in
ultra-high energy heavy lepton collisions.
An important bi-product of this R&D will be the generation of
intense muons beams for other types of physics research. The nature of this R&D program will be
described.
