In this paper we investigate the production of a muon beam by positrons on target. We describe the characteristics of the muon beam as produced by different target configurations. We present an optics for the muon accumulator ring, discussing how it fulfils the large energy acceptance requirement and the high order chromaticity correction at the target, as well as other parameters relevant to enhance the muon bunch quality. We discuss the muon beam dynamics through the ring for the configuration of the single-pass LEMMA scheme, and the optimization study performed with the goals of maximizing the muon bunch population and minimizing its emittance.
