  Transverse laser cooling is pursued at an ion storage/cooler ring, S-LSR, Kyoto University. An RF bunched Mg+ beam was cooled transversely through synchro-betatron resonance coupling by a co-propagating laser. We investigated peaks of the synchrotron oscillation spectroscopically so that we can observe it stably. Oscillation signals from a parallel-plate pickup were observed by a spectrum analyzer. We also observed the coherent synchrotron modes. As the beam temperature decreases, the ion beam would be in space charge limited region. According to the computer simulation, in the case the beam turns to be space charge limited, the disappearance of peaks of the synchrotron oscillation is expected. We would like to propose a capability of detecting space charge limited region by observation of such a frozen synchrotron oscillation.

Abstract: S-LSR is a compact ion cooler ring built in ICR, Kyoto University, aiming at creating ultra-low temperature ion beam by laser cooling. In order to approach lowest possible temperature at S-LSR in an experiment, parameters of laser cooling should be carefully chosen by simulation. This paper mainly concerns on optimization of laser cooling parameters and prediction of possible low limit of beam temperature at S-LSR. Firstly, the adiabatic capture process of ion beam is introduced and studied. Then, different laser profile parameters are compared and an optimized value is chosen. After that, optimized solenoid field strength for 3-D coupling is proposed. At last, by choosing the parameters proposed, the lowest beam temperature achievable for S-LSR is predicted to be 10K in horizontal direction and 0.05K in longitudinal direction.

  The response of radiochromic films, Gafchromic HD-810 and EBT2, was investigated using MeV-class proton and heavy-ion beams to apply the films to a measurement technique of the transverse beam intensity distribution at an azimuthally-varying-field cyclotron of Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The optical density of the films was increased linearly with the particle fluence of the beam in a low-fluence region. The linear-response range of the fluence was strongly dependent on ion species as well as on the film type. By analyzing the film response to absorbed dose with linear energy transfer, it was found that the sensitivity of the film was decreased for heavy-ion beams. An approximate formula was given for the practical fluence range of the Gafchromic film HD-810 on an arbitrary ion beam. The present technique with the use of the two types of Gafchromic films enables us to measure the intensity distribution of a large-area ion beam handily in a wide fluence range. Using the technique, we measured the relative intensity distribution of a large-area ion beam focused with multipole magnets and evaluated its size and uniformity.

  Molecular dynamics approach in which stochastic interaction between laser photons and ions is incorporated is employed to study the formation of three-dimensionally ultralow-temperature coasting beams by means of laser cooling in a storage ring. The effect of momentum dispersion on the laser-cooling process is investigated for efficient transverse cooling through tapered cooling and resonant coupling. The indirect transverse cooling force is dependent on the displacement of the laser axis and laser detuning as well as on dispersion. A string-like crystalline state of the beam can be attained at low line density by means of three-dimensional (3D) cooling. On the other hand, 3D ordered structures can be formed at higher line density by adjusting the tapered laser-cooling force. The characteristics of Coulomb-ordered beams are discussed.
