Abstract :
The muon collection scheme for a muon-storage-ring-based neutrino factory consists of a target irradiated with a 1 MW proton beam followed by a 30-m decay channel and then a 300-m long induction linac phase rotation. The purpose of the induction-linac section is to reduce the δE/E spread of the collected muons to a value which is manageable for the subsequent buncher and cooling sections. We describe in this paper the overall design concept of the phase-rotation system and give key parameters for the induction linacs
