A number of recent developments have led to simulations of an inversecyclotron for cooling intense muon beams for neutrino factories and muoncolliders. Such a device could potentially act as a novel beam coolingmechanism for muons, and it would be significantly smaller and cheaper thanother cooling channel designs. Realistic designs are still being explored, butthe first simulations of particle tracking in the inverse cyclotron, withaccumulation in the cyclotron core, have been done with electrostaticsimulations in the particle-in-cell code VORPAL. We present an overview of themuon inverse cyclotron concept and recent simulation results.
