Description

We discuss the possibility to generate low emittance muon beams by colliding high energy hadrons and counterpropagating high brilliance photon pulses. The asymmetric collision of Large Hadron Collider/Future Circular Collider like hadrons and FEL keV photons imparts a strong Lorentz boost to the secondary particles which are emitted at hundreds GeV energy within a small angle around the hadron beam propagation axis. The phase spaces of the emitted particles are simulated by means of an event-generator code and the characteristics of the muon beams are compared to the analytical calculations. The brightness of the secondary (muon, pion, neutrino, electron, positron) beams is calculated and a preliminary evaluation of the hadron beam degradation after the interaction is given.
