Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 760–763 (2000)Formulas for Transverse Ionization Cooling in Solenoidal Focusing ChannelsReceived 8 March 2000; published in the issue dated 24 July 2000 Ionization cooling in solenoidal channels, such as that envisioned for the future muon colliders or neutrino factories, is studied. Assuming that the interaction with the ionization material is weak, the evolution of the transverse emittance and angular momentum can be determined analytically. Simple and practical formulas are derived for a general cooling configuration as well as for periodic channels. The prediction of these formulas agrees well with those obtained from simulation codes. The method developed here should be useful to other areas of beam physics involving solenoidal focusing. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
