Description

The next generation of experiments with muons requires high-quality muon beams. We are developing a device that reduces the phase space of a standard ${\mu }^{+}$ beam by a factor of ${10}^{10}$ with ${10}^{-3}$ efficiency. The phase space compression is achieved by stopping ${\mu }^{+}$ in cryogenic helium gas with density gradients and applying strong electric and magnetic fields. Several aspects of this device have already been tested. The measurements show that we can achieve efficient muon beam compression, as predicted by the simulations.
