Muon Accelerator R&D at Fermilab
The goal of the APC Muon Accelerator R&D Department is to develop intense muon facilities for future particle physics experiments, with a particular emphasis on the design, simulation, and technical development needed for Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders. There are two groups within the department. The Muon Collider Task Force (MCTF) group focuses on R&D for a multi-TeV Muon Collider with a focus on muon cooling channel design and technologies, and collider ring design. The Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider R&D group conducts R&D that is part of the program of the national Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration. The emphasis is on muon cooling R&D (the MuCool sub-collaboration), and participation in the International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE).
