Coherent electron cooling (CEC) has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy, high-intensity hadron colliders. To verify the concept we conduct proof-of-the-principle experiment at RHIC. In this paper, we describe the current experimental setup to be installed into 2 o’clock RHIC interaction regions. We present current design, status of equipment acquisition and estimates for the expected beam parameters.

Next-generation ion colliders will require effective cooling of high-energy hadron beams. Coherent electron cooling (CeC) can in principle cool relativistic hadron beams on orders-of-magnitude shorter time scales than other techniques*. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a CeC modulator with the parallel VORPAL framework generate macro-particle distributions with subtle but important phase space correlations. To couple these macro-particles into a 3D simulation code for the free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier, while retaining all details of the 6D phase space coordinates, we implemented an alternative approach based on particle-clone pairs**. Our approach allows for self-consistent treatment of shot noise and spontaneous radiation, with no need for quiet-start initialization of the FEL macro-particles' ponderomotive phase. We present results of comparing fully 3D amplifier modeling based on the particle-clone approach vs GENESIS simulations where distribution of bunching parameter was used as input. We also discuss enabling direct coupling of the VORPAL delta-f simulation output into 3D distributions of particle-clone pairs.

  Free-electron lasers are increasingly important tools for the material and biological sciences, and although numerical and analytical theory is extensive, a fundamental question about the nature of the FEL growing modes has remained unanswered. In this proceeding, we present results of a topological nature concerning the number of amplifying solutions to the 1-dimensional FEL equations as related to the energy distribution of the electron bunches.

  High-intensity proton linacs and storage rings are essential for a) state-of-the-art neutron source user facilities, b) extending the high-energy physics intensity frontier, c) as a driver to generate pions for a future neutrino factory or muon collider, and d) for transmutation of radioactive waste and associated energy production. For example, Project X at Fermilab will deliver MW proton beams at energies ranging from 3 to 120 GeV. Nonlinear magnetic lattices with large tune spreads and with integrable*, nearly integrable** and chaotic* dynamics have been proposed to maximize dynamic aperture and minimize particle loss. We present PyORBIT*** simulations of proton dynamics in such lattices, including the effects of transverse space charge.

  Coherent electron cooling (CeC) is promising to revolutionize the cooling of high energy hadron beams. The intricate dynamics of the CeC depends both on the local density and energy distribution of the beam. This talk should present a rigorous analytical model of the 3D processes (including diffraction) in the modulator and the FEL and describe how the theory is applied to electron beams with inhomogeneous longitudinal density- and energy distributions in the process of CeC. The SPC would like you to describe the influence of electron beam energy and current variations along the bunch length.
