A Storage Ring for 10 Bev Muons

It is proposed to construct a strong focusing ring of magnets whose function is to trap muons of 5 -10 Bev, and to study the interaction of the trapped particles in targets placed in the ring. It is shown that such a ring is especially suitable for use with the Stanford linear accelerator because of the hundred-fold increase in effective duty cycle. Other advantages of the scheme are that the muons are nearly mono-energetic, free of contamination, well collimated, and confined to a small beam well suited for performing scattering experiments. Typical parameters of the trapping ring are presented.
