Abstract

Both Neutrino Factories (NF) and Muon Colliders (MC) require very rapid accelerationdue to the short lifetime of muons. After a capture and bunching section, a linac raisesthe energy to about 900 MeV, and is followed by one or more Recirculating LinearAccelerators (RLA), possibly followed by a Rapid Cycling Synchnotron (RCS) or Fixed-FieldAlternating Gradient (FFAG) ring. A RLA reuses the expensive RF linac section for a numberof passes at the price of having to deal with different energies within the same linac.Various techniques including pulsed focusing quadruopoles, beta frequency beating, andmultipass arcs have been investigated via simulations to improve the performance and reducethe cost of such RLAs.
