Abstract

The future μ⁺μ^- muon collider should have a luminosity of the order of 10³⁵ cm^-2 s^-1, an the energy of 2×2 TeV. We present here a demonstration machine at a lower energy to test the feasibility of all components involved, which could be placed inside the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) tunnel. The maximum energy of the muons in the RHIC tunnel depends on the maximum attainable field in the dipoles. The maximum energy in the existing RHIC rings for protons is 250 GeV, where the strength of the magnetic field in the dipoles is 3.5 T. A design of the storage ring lattice for a 50 GeV muon demonstration machine is also presented
