Thesis title: Low Emittance Muon Accelerator LEMMA
The conventional way of producing muons is from the decay of pions or kaons obtained by proton interaction with a target. The Low EMittance Muon Accelerator (LEMMA) project proposes a novel approach for the muon source, where muon pairs are produced directly from the annihilation of a positron beam with the atomic electrons in a target. This positron-driven source is capable of producing low emittance muon beams, in principle removing the necessity of cooling for a muon collider. The main goal of this thesis is to explore the possibilities available in the LEMMA design performing start-to-end simulations of the production and accumulation process in order to optimise the lattice of the muon accumulator rings, target properties and positron beam energy.
