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. We present Vlasov-Poisson and delta-f particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a CEC modulator section. These simulations correctly capture the subtle time and space evolution of the density and velocity wake imprinted on the electron distribution via anisotropic Debye shielding of a drifting ion. We consider 1D and 2D reduced versions of the problem, and compare the exact solutions of Wang and Blaskiewicz with Vlasov-Poisson and delta-f PIC simulations. We also consider interactions under non-ideal conditions where there is a density gradient in the electron distribution, and present simulations of the ion wake.

Coherent electron cooling (CEC) has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy, high-intensity hadron-hadron and electron-hadron colliders*. In a CEC system, a hadron beam interacts with a cooling electron beam. A perturbation of the electron density caused by ions is amplified and fed back to the ions to reduce the energy spread and the emittance of the ion beam. To demonstrate the feasibility of CEC we propose a proof-of-principle experiment at RHIC using one of JLab’s SRF cryo-modules. In this paper, we describe the experimental setup for CeC installed into one of RHIC's interaction regions. We present results of analytical estimates and results of initial simulations of cooling a gold-ion beam at 40 GeV/u energy via CeC.
