Abstract :
MANX is an experiment to prove that effective six- dimensional (6D) muon beam cooling can be achieved in a Helical Cooling Channel (HCC) using ionization- cooling with helical and solenoidal magnets in a novel configuration. The aim is to demonstrate that 6D muon beam cooling is understood well enough to plan intense neutrino factories and high-luminosity muon colliders. The experiment consists of the HCC magnet that envelops a liquid helium energy absorber, upstream and downstream instrumentation to measure the beam parameters before and after cooling, and emittance matching sections between the detectors and the HCC.
