- (2) Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory
-
- The modern development of the muon collider was
started by this group in 1992 with a meeting in
Napa, California. During the 1990s we held five
key conferences and muon collider collaboration
meetings. -
- Current work
- - The fiber tracker for MICE cooling experiments
- - The study of various ring coolers for
muon colliders - - The design of a special muon collider to
study Higgs bosons that could be

14Ring Coolers and Muon Colliders/Higgs Factories
- David B. Cline
- Center for Advanced Accelerators, Department of
Physics Astronomy, University of California,
Los Angeles, CA 90095 USA - We describe the progress in the simulation of
6D cooling of ? beams for use in neutrino
factories and muon beam colliders. We concentrate
on the final cooling needed to reach the
emmittance required for a SUSY Higgs factory
using high-pressure gas ring coolers and Li lens
ring coolers.

Higgs factory.
15Laser acceleration at BNL ATF
Demonstration of High-Trapping Efficiency and
Narrow Energy Spread in a Laser-Driven
Accelerator W.D. Kimura, et al., Physical
Review Letters, 2003 Laser-driven electron
accelerators (laser linacs) offer the potential
for enabling much more economical and compact
devices. However, the development of practical
and efficient laser linacs requires accelerating
a large ensemble of electons together
(trapping) while keeping their energy spread
small. This has never been realized before for
any laser acceleration system. We present here
the first demonstration of a high-trapping
efficiency and narrow energy spread via laser
acceleration. Trapping efficiencies of up to 80
and energy spreads down to 0.36 (1?) were
demonstrated.
Staging, low energy spread demonstrated
