MCTF Helical Solenoid Configurations (EPAC08)
• Helical Solenoids capable to generate fields required for the optimal muon cooling even at different helix periods.• Large bore straight solenoids (1), helical multipole windings (2) or trapezoidal coils (3) could be used for eliminating of the misbalance between transverse and longitudinal fields.• Demonstration models could use helical multipole windings for greater flexibility. The final design will be more efficient with non-circular shape coils.

The results of coil and field optimization for a hybrid HS with an external straight solenoid (SS) are summarized in Table. The first row represents the reference HS made of HTS. In all cases Bz=‑17.3 T and Bt=4.06 T.The HTS-Nb3Sn hybrid HS provided practically the nominal value of field gradient G and the HTS coil volume reduction by a factor of 3 and the total coil volume reduction by a factor of 2. However, in this case the operation margin reduces by 16% and the nominal field of the straight solenoid increases by 7%.
However, better performance at low fields and lower cost of Nb3Sn strands with respect to HTS materials motivates using a hybrid approach and conductor grading which allows reducing the HTS coil and the total coil volume.

MCTFHS and Beam Matching (EPAC08)
• HS with helical matching sections of 3 m long at front and far ends.
• HS design could be used in combination with tangential muon beam injection to the helical orbit. This magnet system will be cheaper for short HS channels.
7
MCTFHS Magnetic Concept for MANX (PAC07)
• The solenoid consists of a number of ring coils shifted in the transverse plane such that the coil centers follow the helical beam orbit. • HS with RF has the same curent in each coil.• The current in the coils could be chaned along the HS to obtain the longitudinal field gradients.• The magnet system has a fixed relation between all components for a given set of geometrical constraints. • Thus, to obtain the necessary cooling effect, the coil should be optimized together with the beam parameters.
One could see that the optimum gradient for the helical solenoid is -0.8 T/m, corresponding to a period of 1.6 m.

MCTF
250 MeV Muon Beam Tracking
• 250 MeV muon beam could be effectively transmitted through Helical Cooling Channel.
• The space between HS sections is 240 mm to provide RF power input, HS current leads, LHe cooling, GH2 absorber vessel, HS cryostat walls, etc…
• The field drops at the HS section ends compensated by applying additional turns.
• Shown parallel muon beam of 100 mm diameter at front end of HS.

MCTF
Helical Solenoid Combined with RF Cavity
•The optimal helix period should be less or equal RF wave length (K.Yonehara, V. Balbekov PAC09).
• At 200 MHz - 800 MHz frequency range, the wave length and the helix period are in range of 1.5 m – 0.375 m.
• The 200 MHz cavity has 1.2 m diameter and it is too large to be placed inside HS.
• Possible solution is to use a dielectric loaded cavity (M.Popovic, et. al., PAC09) to reduce the RF cavity ID.
• The GH2 absorber at high pressure could be used for cavity cooling.
• Cavities powered through HS cryostat penetrations.

Dielectric Filled 200 MHz Cavity Cell
Required frequency of 200 MHz, beam aperture of 15 cm diameter and given ceramic with ε=9.6 define transverse dimensions of the cavity. The minimal cavity diameter that can be achieved is 44 cm, while ceramic has inner radius 15 cm. The cavity is completely filled with ceramic material except beam bore. Therefore all transverse parameters are fixed. So, only cavity length and surface fields are available for optimization.

Since the cavity is closed, electric field on axis E is almost constant at any cavitylength L as long as surface field Esurf is kept constant. Energy gain per cavity of length L according to the expression

Transit time factor is maximal at L=0.67m. But the helix design requires the cavities as short as possible. Let’s see what would be a result of segmentation of the accelerating channel intosequence of much shorter cavities.

MCTFCavity Shunt Impedance and Q-factor
In an accelerating cavity we are really more interested in maximizing the particle energy gain per unit power dissipation. We define an effective shunt impedance of a cavity as

where q is a particle charge, P – dissipated power, Veff – effective
voltage that takes into account field phase and transit time factor.
The simulations shows thatthe cavity is very non-effectivefor shorter lengths. This is mostly because of high velocityof the muons (β≈0.9) and relatedtransit time factor.
14
MCTF
Increasing of cavity length also has itsdownsides. Approximately at 30 cm asaturation of Eeff starts, while power losses are still linearly increasing. Secondarily, in longer cavity the lossesin ceramic dominate, making heatremoval more problematic.

Independent phasing is very flexible. But 11 MW per cavity and 200 MHz operating frequency require extremely big transmission lines and couplers. Coupled cell structure 80 cm long and operating at 0-mode may help to reduce number of transmission lines and couplers to two units.

• The following steps should be performed during design studies and R&D before final systems integration and prototyping:
- Define RF outer dimensions, space for power wave guides, external power losses and cryoloads, system weight, etc… ;
- Define the High Pressure gas (absorber) vessel parameters; - HS magnetic and mechanical design; - HS manufacturing technology; - HS models tests; - HS unit design with space for RF system; - HS prototype unit fabrication and tests w/o RF; - HS fabrication and tests with RF.
