Muon Transverse Ionization Cooling: Stochastic Approach

arXiv:acc-phys/9503003 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.52.1039

Abstract

Transverse ionization cooling of muons is modeled as a Brownian motion of the muon beam as it traverses a Li or Be rod. A Langevin like equation is written for the free particle case (no external transverse magnetic field) and for the case of a harmonically bound beam in the presence of a focusing magnetic field. We demonstrate that the well known muon cooling equations for short-absorbers can be extrapolated to the useful case of a long absorber rod with a focusing magnetic field present.
