THO1B04 | Space Charge Effects in the NICA Collider Rings | 522 |
|
||
Accelerator complex NICA, developed at JINR, will provide an ion-ion (Au79+) collisions at energies of 1-4.5 GeV/u, as well as experiments on collisions of polarized proton-proton and deuteron-deuteron beams. The calculations of the optical properties of superconducting collider rings have been aimed to create appropriate conditions for the collisions of beams and obtaining the required luminosity parameters in the working range of energies. The collider characteristics and the beam dynamics have been worked out mainly for ion-ion mode of the complex. The main effects limiting luminosity are the space charge dominating at the range of 1-3 GeV/u and the intrabeam scattering dominating for 3-4.5 GeV/u beams. Application of both electron and stochastic cooling methods is essential feature of the project. That allows us to suppress these effects in the corresponding energy ranges. | ||
