The lattice for the 50-50 GeV muon collider

The lattice design of the 50-50 Gev muon collider is presented. Due to the short lifetime of the 50 Gev muons, the ring needs to be as small as possible. The 4 cm low betas in both planes lead to high betatron functions at the focusing quadrupoles and hence large chromaticities, which must be corrected locally. In order to maintain a low rf voltage of around 10 MV, the momentum-compaction factor must be kept to less than 10-2, and therefore the flexible momentum-compaction modules are used in the arcs. The dynamical aperture is larger than 6 to 7 rms beam size for ±5 rms momentum offset. Comments are given and modifications are suggested. copyright 1998 American Institute of Physics
