“…Of several possible rapid cooling mechanisms, ionization cooling appears to be the most attractive technologically [3]. The basis physics of ionization cooling is well understood [4,5] but detailed simulations are necessary for the design of a realistic cooling channel.…”

Using a moment formalism [1,2] we model beam transport in the muon collider cooling channel. This model contains much of the physics we believe to be relevant to muon cooling such as ionization energy loss and multiple scattering. Space-charge forces are currently neglected but can, in principle, be added to the model. Previously, this model has been shown to closely agree with particle tracking [1] while being significantly less computationally intensive. Presently our simulation is limited to the six-dimensional dynamics of the transverse cooling section. A matrix representation of an emittance exchange section is presented. This formulation of emittance exchange can either be ideal (conserving 6-d emittance) or can include energy loss and heating representative of the effects expected in a realistic emittance exchange section. These elements should give our model sufficient generality to enable the preliminary, yet realistic, design of a complete muon cooling channel.
