To further explore the physics beyond the capabilities of the LHC and its High-Luminosity Upgrade (HL-LHC), particle physicists are studying advanced accelerators in order to perform finer measurements and/or reach higher energies. Upon the recommendation of the Updated European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPP), an International Muon Collider Collaboration has been established to investigate the feasibility of a muon collider facility with a center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV.

Numerical Optimization of 6D Cooling Solenoids for a Muon Collider / Fabbri, S (CERN) ; Bottura, L (CERN) ; Statera, M (LASA, Segrate)
In the current most evolved design concept of a machine for accelerating and colliding muons, there exists two long (∼1 km) channels for cooling newly created muons and antimuons. Termed the ‘6D cooling channels’, the beam is cooled in momentum and position space using a series of alternating polarity solenoids which create an oscillating field in the beam direction, absorbers and radio-frequency cavities.

In the framework of the IMCC (International Muon Collider Collaboration), a feasibility study for a collider ring 10 km long with muons having a center of mass energy of 10 TeV is currently being carried out. The superconducting magnets represent one of the most challenging components of the collider stage of such a facility: indeed, the need for high fields, large apertures and dipole + quadrupole combined function require technological choices at the edge of the status of the art.

In the framework of the design studies of a Muon Collider (MuC), the design of Ultra-High-Field (UHF) magnets is a crucial part, particularly for the MuC's final cooling stage. To address this, CERN has recently introduced a conceptual design for a 40 T solenoid characterized by very compact pancake coils. [...]

In accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Updated European Strategy for Particle Physics, the International Muon Collider Collaboration has been initiated to assess the feasibility of a Muon Collider facility with a center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV. The primary challenges stem from the brief muon lifetime at rest, which is limited to 2.2 µs. [...]

Accurate measurements of physical processes in high energy frontier experiments demand exceptional spatial, temporal, and energy precision to discern the physics behind high-energy particle jets. Calorimeters, like other detection systems, must be able to meet these increasingly challenging performance requirements. [...]
