At the Paul Scherrer Institute, the muCool device is being developed to compress the 6D phase space of a standard μ⁺ beam by a factor of 10⁹ with up to 10^-4 efficiency. Efficient compression has been observed using a cryogenic helium gas target and a complex geometry of E and B-fields. Once compressed, the beam has to be extracted through a windowless orifice into vacuum and a field-free region. This article outlines the status of the muCool device with a focus on the muons extraction stage, currently under development.
