Description
We are developing a novel mu+ beamline that reduces the phase space of the input beam by a factor of 10E10 with 10E-3
efficiency. The phase space compression is achieved by stopping mu+ in cryogenic helium gas and applying strong electric and magnetic
fields and gas density gradients. The beamline consists of several consecutive stages, which can be tested individually in the first
step. The transverse and longitudinal compression stages were recently successfully demonstrated. The measurements show that we can achieve
the muon beam compression with a high efficiency. The GEANT4 simulation of the full beamline is currently under development and preliminary
results are in very good agreement with the measured data.
