At the Paul Scherrer Institute, the muCool beamline is being developed to establish a fast cooling scheme for positive muon beams. A standard muon beam of cm-size with MeV-energy is stopped in a helium gas target at cryogenic temperatures, and compressed into a beam of mm-size and eV-energy in less than 5 micro-seconds, using a vertical temperature gradient and a complex configuration of electric and magnetic fields.
In this talk, the working principle of the muCool beamline and the latest results from the 2019 beam time are presented.
Supported by SNF project 200020_172639.
The seminar will be held in English. Everyone can join the seminar
freely. We look forward to your participation.
