A MU(+)MU(-) CRYSTAL COLLIDER CONCEPT

We describe a futuristic mu(+)mu(-) collider complex which uses a comb ination of bent and straight silicon crystals for the circular confine ment and to provide the horizontal and vertical focusing. It would als o involve laser driven crystal acceleration and crystal cooling to enh ance the luminosity. The design of a 250 x 250 GeV storage ring-collid er is outlined here, including quantitative lattice design based on an alternating gradient crystal cell. Two other functional cells (accele rating and cooling) are also described in detail, The conceptual basis for this collider is that the mu(+/-) beams are not destroyed by eith er radiation like e(+/-) or hadronic interactions like <(p)over bar p> , thus allowing for a full solid state collider. The muon lifetime in a relativistic storage ring; number of revolutions scales like 300 B, where B is the bending field. For a single bent Si crystals its bendin g angle could easily reach a few mrad, therefore the equivalent bendin g field is B similar to 1000 T, giving similar to 3 x 10(5) turns in t he storage ring before the next mu(+/-) beam is injected, Assuming int egration of all four functionalities (trending, alternate focusing, co oling, acceleration) into corresponding cells such a collider would ha ve a few thousand of various Si crystal components.
