Abstract

A successful muon ionisation cooling channel for the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider, requires simultaneously a strong focusing and a large mean RF gradient. To date, all candidate design lattices achieved these requirements with a large magnetic field in the RF cavities, which can potentially limit the achievable gradient leading to RF breakdown. This paper presents the Bucked Coils lattice, designed to reduce the magnetic field at the RF cavities while achieving a satisfactory cooling effect and muon transmission. The Bucked Coils managed to achieve significantly reduced magnetic field components at the RF position, while also achieving a comparable transmission to the FSIIA lattice, the current reference ionisation cooling lattice of the Neutrino Factory. A detailed comparison with respect to the magnetic field reduction, cooling dynamics and transmission is given. A preliminary feasibility study taking into account the hoop stress of the coils and their superconducting operation is also presented.
