Abstract :
Results of Monte Carlo simulations of the processes in a collection channel for a muon collider are presented. In the simulations, pions are produced in a target, captured and then transported within solenoid focusing systems where they decay into muons. Muon yield and phase space characteristics at the end of the channel can be improved by placing RF cavities and absorbers along the channel as well as by providing a supplemental toroidal field along with the absorbers. Results for a sample of such scenarios are presented
