Goals 2
Low- HFOFO Status - Y. Alexahin NFMCC Meeting Oxford, MS, January 14 2010
FOFO “snake” to achieve T < 0.5mm, L < 1mm requires:
Small -function at absorbers (at the solenoid center if the phase advance >180/cell
Transverse B-field to generate dispersion, can be created by tilting / displacing the solenoids or by additional dipole coils
Nomenclature:
HFOFO = Helical FOFO channel of alternating solenoids (ASOL)
FOFO-xyz = FOFO with xyz resonance phase advance per focusing cell consisting of one solenoid + all other stuff (RF cavities etc.)

Helical snake for final 6D cooling - the puzzle
By increasing B-field strength it is possible to get phase advance >180/cell and small -function at the solenoid center much smaller emittance.
Tune / period > odd_integer for resonant orbit excitation
Puzzle:
2-cell period (planar snake), Q>1
6-cell period, Q>3
4-cell period, Q>3
6-cell period, Q>5
p < 0
p > 0 significant over-focusing required

Naiive 1-dimensional considerations do not work for coupled motion:
besides 180 phase advance of the normal mode there is also 180 rotation of the normal mode
the transverse field phase should change by either 360 or 0 / cell !
Return to FOFO-180°
Actually constant By works just as well!
Since there is no clear gain in going to 270° (just problems), more effort was applied to find solution for 180°. A superposed dipole field generated by additional coils can do the job. Such a field can not be obtained by displacing solenoids:

4/3 per cell 4 2 per 6-cell period:the resonance By harmonic is 4, but actually the 1rd harmonic is the most efficient!
No big problem with the transverse mode cooling rate equalization:

Bz_coil/ Bz0 (left) and B3/Bz0 (right) vs coil inner radius Rin (cm). - Field on coil drops with smaller Rin, but nonlinearity grows.
Bz_coil/ Bz0 (left) and B3/Bz0 (right) vs coil half-length L/2 (cm). - Both field on coil and nonlinearity decrease with L, but this leaves no room for RF!

Revised HFOFO-270° Momentum Acceptance
p/p0
Static momentum acceptance is fine: (-9%,+27%),
but the dynamic acceptance is only 25% (full width) – enough to accommodate the equilibrium momentum spread, but not the incoming beam
To increase dynamic acceptance one can:
- reduce solenoid pitch angle (to reduce p)
- reduce p0 (to increase 1/2)
Both these methods are bad for longitudinal cooling –
Careful optimization is necessary

Summary & Outlook 15
Low- HFOFO Status - Y. Alexahin NFMCC Meeting Oxford, MS, January 14 2010
FOFO-180 promises large momentum acceptance, DA and small emittances. However, no way to equalize the transverse mode cooling rates has been found yet. Still, there are some possibilities to explore.
HFOFO-270 can provide emittances T ~ 0.35mm, L ~0.5mm with LH2 absorbers, but the transmission is poor. It can be (probably) improved with nonlinear shape of the absorbers reducing ionization losses for low-momentum muons.
If both efforts fail, retreat below 180: the allowed maximum field of 19T (on the coil) will be achieved with smaller cell length the increase in min and emittances will be moderate
Plans (from MCDW09) 16
Search for the final stage HFOFO configuration (by IPAC10)
Front end with HFOFO (by April 2010 IDS meeting)
Determination of the number of stages and configuration for each stage (by the next MCDW)
Optimization of each stage parameters (2010-2012)
End-to-end simulation with matching between the stages (by 2012)
