STTR Project
Company:
Muons, Inc.
552 N. Batavia Ave
Batavia, IL 60510
Title:
Epicyclic Helical Channels for Parametric Resonance Ionization Cooling
Summary:
In order to maximize the discovery potential of elementary particle colliders at the energy frontier, or to create low-divergence neutrino beams, the momentum spread of particles in the beams must be reduced via `cooling’. This project will develop a new approach to the design of the required beam cooling systems.
