Dispersion Suppression for Wedge-Based Final Cooling at a 10 TeV Muon Collider
Achieving a luminosity of $\gtrsim 10^{34} cm^{-2} s^{-1}$ in a $10 \text{ } TeV$ Muon Collider, given the short lifetime of a muon, requires reducing the 6D emittance of the muon beam through a process known as ionization cooling. In the final stage of this cooling process, the transverse emittance must be reduced to $22 \text{ } μm$, typically by allowing longitudinal emittance growth up to downstream acceptance limits. While the current International Muon Collider Collaboration designs involve $40 \text{ } T$ solenoids to reach the transverse emittance target, such high-field solenoids come with several challenges, including mechanical stress management, quench protection, and potential limitations in relying on High Temperature Superconductor technology. Designed as an alternative to using such solenoids while simultaneously reaching target transverse emittance, the previously proposed wedge-based, reverse emittance-exchange cooling scheme requires excellent dispersion suppression. In this study, we design and simulate a dispersion suppressor channel for the wedge-based final cooling design that reduces dispersion in the target direction to a target value of $D_x \sim 0.001 \text{ } m$.
