Muon collider: The Low EMittance Muon Accelerator (LEMMA) approach

Abstract

This work introduces a new proposal for a low–emittance muon accelerator (LEMMA) in which muon beam is obtained from the e+e-→m+m- annihilation process with positrons at the threshold energy of 45 GeV. The experimental test beam setup implemented to validate this concept is presented together with preliminary results from the experimental data.
