Abstract :
A scenario for capture, bunching and RF rotation of μ´s from a proton source is presented. It consists of a drift section, a variable frequency ~300→180 MHz bunching section, followed by a fixed or variable frequency (~180 MHz) φ-δE rotation section. In 1D and 3D simulations (SIMUCOOL and ICOOL), the overall capture performance of the system is similar to that of induction linac + buncher scenarios developed for the neutrino factory. The total RF required for the system is quite modest. Optimization procedures are described
