Resources of NERSC were used under contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. 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. * V.N. Litvinenko and Y.S.

Funding: US DOE Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, grant No.’s DE-FG02-08ER85182 and DE-FC02-07ER41499. NERSC resources were supported by the DOE Office of Science, contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. Increasing the luminosity of ion beams in particle accelerators is critical for the advancement of nuclear and particle physics. Coherent electron cooling promises to cool high-energy hadron beams significantly faster than electron cooling or stochastic cooling. Here we show simulations of a single pass through a coherent electron cooler, which consists of a modulator, a free-electron laser, and a kicker. In the modulator the electron beam copropagates with the ion beam, which perturbs the electron beam density according to the ion positions. The FEL, which both amplifies and imparts wavelength-scale modulation on the electron beam. The strength of modulated electric fields determines how much they accelerate or decelerate the ions when electron beam recombines with the dispersion-shifted hadrons in the kicker region. From these field strengths we estimate the cooling time for a gold ion with a specific longitudinal velocity. * Vladimir N. Litvinenko, Yaroslav S.

WEP164 | Accelerating Beam Dynamics Simulations with GPUs | 1800 |

Funding: This work is funded by the DOE/BES Grant No. DE-SC0004585, and by Tech-X Corp. We present recent results of prototyping general-purpose particle tracking on GPUs, discussing our CUDA implementation of transfer maps for single-particle dynamics and collective effects. Our goal being incorporation of the GPU-accelerated tracking into ANL's accelerator code ELEGANT, we used the code's quadrupole and drift-with-LSC elements as test cases. We discuss the use of data-parallel and hardware-assisted approaches (segmented scan and atomic updates) for resolving memory contention issues at the charge deposition stage of algorithms for modeling collective effects. |
