Muon Front End Components
• Targetry, produces pions (p±)
• Pion to muon decay channel
– Uses a series of wide-bore solenoids
• “Phase rotation” systems
– Aim for either low DE or short bunch length
• Muon ionisation cooling (as in “MICE”)
– Expensive components, re-use in cooling ring
• Muon acceleration (RLAs vs. FFAGs)
