The coherent electron cooling (CeC)* device is one of the new facilities under construction in BNL. The CeC is a realization of the stochastic cooling with an electron beam serving as a pick-up and kicker. Hadrons generate electron density perturbations in the modulator section, then these perturbations are amplified in an FEL, and then, they accelerate (or decelerate) hadrons in the kicker by electric field with respect to their velocities. Here we present the theoretical description of the modulator sector**,***, where the electron density perturbations are formed and our new results on the time evolution of these perturbations in the FEL section, where they are amplified.

  In Ref. [1] the authors put forward a concept of coherent electron cooling of hadrons. At the core of the concept lies the following idea: a density perturbation induced by an hadron in a co-propagating relativistic electron beam is amplified by several orders of magnitude in a free electron laser (FEL). After the FEL the electron beam is merged again with the hadron one and the amplified electric field in the electron beam acts back on each hadron resulting, after many repetitions, in cooling of the hadron beam. The efficiency of the process is critically determined by the amplification factor of the longitudinal electric field induced by the hadron in the electron beam. In this work we show that this factor is actually considerably smaller than the (conventionally defined) FEL gain with the smallness parameter to be the relative bandwidth of the FEL amplifier.
