COOLER
As a consequence of the short muon lifetime, traditional cooling techniques are
inappropriate, so the required phase-space reduction is achived by means of
ionisation cooling. This involves passing the muon beam through a material
in which it loses energy through ionisation and then re-accelerating the beam
in the longitudinal direction to replace the lost energy. The IDS-NF baseline calls
for lithium-hydride absorbers embedded in a solenoidal transport channel with
re-acceleration achieved using 201 MHz cavaties at a gradient of 16 MV/m.
