G4BEAMLINE Simulations of Parametric Resonance Ionization Cooling of Muon Beams

The technique of using a parametric resonance to allow better ionization cooling is being developed to create small emittance beams so that high collider luminosity can be achieved with fewer muons. While parametric resonance ionization cooling (PIC) of muons has been shown to work in matrix-based simulations using Opt iM [1] when the system is properly tuned, doing the same using a much more detailed GEANT-based g4beamline [2] simulation has been more difficult.
