Project-X is a proposed project to be built at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory with several potential missions. A primary part of the Project-X accelerator chain is a Superconducting linac, and In October 2009 a workshop was held to concentrate on the linac parameters. The charge of the workshop was to "..focus only on the SRF linac approaches and how it can be used...". The focus of Working Group 2 of this workshop was to evaluate how the different linac options being considered impact the potential realization of Muon Collider (MC) and Neutrino Factory (NF) applications. In particular the working group charge was, "to investigate the use of a multi-megawatt proton linac to target, phase rotate and collect muons to support a muon collider and neutrino factory". To focus the working group discussion, three primary questions were identified early on, to serve as a reference: 1) What are the proton source requirements for muon colliders and neutrino factories? 2) What are the issues with respect to realizing the required muon collider and neutrino factory proton sources? a. General considerations b. Considerations specific to the two linac configurations identified by Project-X. 3) What things need to be done before we can be reasonably confident that ICD1/ICD2 can be upgraded to provide the neutrino factory / muon collider needs? A number of presentations were given, and are available at the workshop web-site. This paper does not summarize the individual presentations, but rather addresses overall findings as related to the three guiding questions listed above.
除了继续研究3-4和0.5 TeV CoM对撞机的参数外，许多研究现在都集中在一台接近100 GeV的机器上，这台机器可能是生产希格斯粒子的s通道工厂。我们提到了在这样的μ子对撞机的各种组件的研究，从质子加速器需要产生π介子从一个重Z的目标，并通过相位旋转和衰变通道，μ子冷却，加速，存储在一个环和对撞机检测器进行。我们还提到了未来几年的理论和实验研发计划，这将有助于更好地理解所有组件的设计和可行性问题。本文是自1996年斯诺马斯研讨会上提出的μ子对撞机可行性研究以来的最新研究进展报告的摘要。
