Ionization Cooling for Muon Experiments

TL;DR

This paper discusses the application of ionization cooling, originally designed for muon colliders, to enhance the sensitivity of muon experiments like mu2e, potentially increasing their effectiveness significantly.

Contribution

It proposes adapting ionization cooling technology for mu2e, demonstrating a potential two-order-of-magnitude improvement in experimental sensitivity.

Findings

Muon2e sensitivity can be increased by two orders of magnitude.

Ionization cooling channel can be adapted from muon collider designs.

Using FNAL Booster as proton driver enhances experiment capabilities.

Abstract

Possible application for muon experiments such as mu2e is discussed of the initial part of the ionization cooling channel originally developed for muon collider. It is shown that with the FNAL Booster as the proton driver the mu2e sensitivity can be increased by two orders of magnitude compared to the presently considered experiment.
