Description

The High Intensity Muon Beams (HIMB) project at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) will provide an unprecedented rate of 1e10 muons/sec to next-generation intensity frontier particle physics and material science experiments. As part of our work on the beamline design optimisation for the HIMB, we used differential-algebraic transfer maps with system knobs computed using the code COSY INFINITY to minimise the beam spot sizes at the final foci. Levenberg-Marquardt and simulated annealing optimisers were used in the final foci optimisations.
