Scheme for a 50 TeV muon accumulator

Abstract

Submitted as input for discussions on a possible low emittance muon accumulator at 50 TeV. I present a scheme to obtain high quality positive and negative muon beams in terms of low emittance, high charge and high energy using an accumulator at 50 TeV (or tens of TeV) filled with a train of low charge and low emittance muon bunches to be injected in top-up mode on a single bunch circulating in a storage/collider ring at the same energy, where damping from synchrotron radiation merges the bunches with minimal emittance degradation.
