    The RF background issue in the muon ionization cooling channel

    Description
    Essential for muon accelerators, such as the neutrino factory or the muon colliders, ionization cooling channels use RF cavities to restore the energy lost in liquid hydrogen absorbers. The major limitation in cooling comes from electrons emitted from the cavities which cause breakdowns or unacceptable thermal load to the liquid hydrogen tanks. In the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment MICE these electrons also cause background in the detectors. This seminar presents the MICE experiment and the issues related to these dark currents, and the data analysis of a direct measurement of this radiation in the MuCool RF background experiment.
