muCool: a next step towards efficient muon beam compression

Abstract A novel device to compress the phase space of a muon beam by a factor of $$10^{10}$$ 1010 with a $$10^{-3}$$ 10-3 efficiency is under development. A surface muon beam is stopped in a helium gas target consisting of several compression stages, wherein strong electric and magnetic fields are...
