Description

The RF system for the initial and 6D-muon-cooling channels consists of several RF cavities operating at 352 and 704 MHz. To meet the luminosity requirements of a muon collider, the maximum muon beam intensity at the end of the cooling channel is expected to be on the order of $10^{12}$ muons per bunch. At such high beam intensities, transient beam loading can severely impact the accelerating gradient and degrade beam quality. Based on input from the beam dynamics design, we estimated the beam loading effects in the proposed RF cavities and analyzed mitigation strategies to ensure that the maximum allowable surface fields remain within safe limits, reducing the risk of RF breakdown.
