Muons have been accelerated by using a radio frequency accelerator for the first time. Negative muonium atoms (Mu$^-$), which are bound states of positive muons ($mu^+$) and two electrons, are generated from $mu^+$s through the electron capture process in an aluminum degrader. The generated Mu$^-$s are initially electrostatically accelerated and injected into a radio frequency quadrupole linac (RFQ). In the RFQ, the Mu$^-$s are accelerated to 89 keV. The accelerated Mu$^-$s are identified by momentum measurement and time of flight. This compact muon linac opens the door to various muon accelerator applications including particle physics measurements and the construction of a transmission muon microscope.

An energetic muon beam is an attractive key to unlock new physics beyond the Standard Model: the lepton flavor violation or the anomalous magnetic moment, and also is a competitive candidate for the expected neutrino factory. Lots of the muon scienti
fic applications are limited by low flux cosmic-ray muons, low energy muon sources or extremely expensive muon accelerators. An prompt acceleration of the low-energy muon beam is found in the beam-driven plasma wakefield up to $mathrm{TV/m}$. The muon beam is accelerated from $275mathrm{MeV}$ to more than $10mathrm{GeV}$ within $22.5mathrm{ps}$. Choosing the injection time of the muon beam in a proper range, the longitudinal spatial distribution and the energy distribution of the accelerated muon beam are compressed. The efficiency of the energy transfer from the driven electron beam to the muon beam can reach $20%$. The prompt acceleration scheme is a promising avenue to bring the expected neutrino factory and the muon collider into reality and to catch new physics beyond the Standard Model.
A buncher cavity has been developed for the muons accelerated by a radio-frequency quadrupole linac (RFQ). The buncher cavity is designed for $beta=v/c=0.04$ at an operational frequency of 324 MHz. It employs a double-gap structure operated in the TE
M mode for the required effective voltage with compact dimensions, in order to account for the limited space of the experiment. The measured resonant frequency and unloaded quality factor are 323.95 MHz and $3.06times10^3$, respectively. The buncher cavity was successfully operated for longitudinal bunch size measurement of the muons accelerated by the RFQ.
The design of a future multi-TeV muon collider needs new ideas to overcome the technological challenges related to muon production, cooling, accumulation and acceleration. In this paper a layout of a positron driven muon source known as the Low EMitt
ance Muon Accelerator (LEMMA) concept is presented. The positron beam, stored in a ring with high energy acceptance and low emittance, is extracted and driven to a multi-target system, to produce muon pairs at threshold. This solution alleviates the issues related to the power deposited and the integrated Peak Energy Density Deposition (PEDD) on the targets. Muons produced in the multi-target system will then be accumulated before acceleration and injection in the collider. A multi-target line lattice has been designed to cope with the focusing of both the positron and muon beams. Studies on the number, material and thickness of the targets have been carried out. A general layout of the overall scheme and a description is presented, as well as plans for future R&D.
High-brightness muon beams of energy comparable to those produced by state-of-the-art electron, proton and ion accelerators have yet to be realised. Such beams have the potential to carry the search for new phenomena in lepton-antilepton collisions t
o extremely high energy and also to provide uniquely well-characterised neutrino beams. A muon beam may be created through the decay of pions produced in the interaction of a proton beam with a target. To produce a high-brightness beam from such a source requires that the phase space volume occupied by the muons be reduced (cooled). Ionization cooling is the novel technique by which it is proposed to cool the beam. The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment collaboration has constructed a section of an ionization cooling cell and used it to provide the first demonstration of ionization cooling. We present these ground-breaking measurements.
Neutrino beams at from high-energy proton accelerators have been instrumental discovery tools in particle physics. Neutrino beams are derived from the decays of charged pi and K mesons, which in turn are created from proton beams striking thick nucle
ar targets. The precise selection and manipulation of the pi/K beam control the energy spectrum and type of neutrino beam. This article describes the physics of particle production in a target and manipulation of the particles to derive a neutrino beam, as well as numerous innovations achieved at past experimental facilities.
