At S-LSR in ICR, Kyoto University, Mg ion beam has been successfully laser cooled both in longitudinal* and transverse** directions. The cooling rate, however, is not strong enough to realize the crystalline beam due to the heating because of intra-beam scattering (IBS) effect. So as to suppress this IBS, reduction of the beam intensity is inevitable, which however, had resulted in poor S/N ratio for observation of the transverse beam size. In the present paper, we would like to describe a new beam scraping scheme, which selects out the beams in the distribution tail of the transverse phase space keeping the beam density in the core part by simultaneous application of multi-dimensional laser cooling and beam scraping. The strategy to reduce the beam intensity and hence beam heating due to IBS by a controlled scraping of the outskirt beam keeping the beam density at core part almost the same, has been searched by combination of the beam experiments and computer simulations.

Longitudinal beam temperature during a laser cooling was measured through bunch length measurement at S-LSR. 40keV 24Mg+ beams were bunched by an RF voltage with a harmonic number of 5 and were cooled by a co-propagating laser with a wavelength of 280nm*. Bunch length was measured by time-domain signal from a pair of parallel-plate electrostatic pickups with a length of 140mm. Injected non-cooled beams gave a bunch length of 2.5m (2-σ) and cooled beam has a 2-component of broad and sharp distribution. Broad distribution had a longitudinal length of 2.2m, which is close to that of initial beam. The length of the sharp distribution shrunk to 0.25m and is considered as a cooled part. Capture efficiency of cooling, which represents the ratio of the particle numbers of cooled part and the total particle number, varies by the change of the detuning of the laser (fixed frequency or scanning). With scanning range of 2GHz, capture efficiency was improved from 66% to 92%, whereas the bunch became longer by 10% with scanning. Approach to improve the number of cooled particle and cut uncooled part** will be applied to attain a strong signal with a low-current beam with a low temperature.
