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.

THP003 | High Power THz FEL Source Based on FFAG Betatron | 2142 |
|
||
A novel source of high power sub-mm waves is proposed that combines two well-known technologies – a betatron induction FFAG accelerator and a free electron laser (FEL). The system is configured as an FEL oscillator: the electron beam circulates in bi-periodic FFAG lattice and the external optical resonator maintains beam-radiation overlap through multiple orbits. Initial analysis shows that FEL gain and very high extraction efficiency are possible with modest injected beam current. A simplified interaction model and preliminary analysis results are presented. | ||
