title = "Studies of the twin helix parametric-resonance ionization cooling channel with cosyinfinity",
abstract = "A primary technical challenge to the design of a high luminosity muon collider is aneffective beam cooling system. An epicyclic twin-helix channel utilizingparametric-resonance ionization cooling (EPIC) has been proposed for the final 6D coolingstage. A proposed design of this twin-helix channel is presented that utilizes correlatedoptics between the horizontal and vertical betatron periods to simultaneously focustransverse motion of the beam in both planes. Parametric resonance is induced in bothplanes via a system of helical quadrupole harmonics. Ionization cooling is achieved viaperiodically placed wedges of absorbing material, with biperiodic rf cavities restoringlongitudinal momentum necessary to maintain stable orbit of the beam. COSY INFINITY isutilized to simulate the theory at first order. The motion of particles around a hyperbolicfixed point is tracked. Comparison is made between the EPIC cooling channel and standardionization cooling effects. Cooling effects are measured, after including stochasticeffects, for both a single particle and a distribution of particles.",
