MOPF03 | Electron Lenses and Cooling for the Fermilab Integrable Optics Test Accelerator | electron, optics, proton, space-charge | 32 |
|
|||
Funding: Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the US Department of Energy. Recently, the study of integrable Hamiltonian systems has led to nonlinear accelerator lattices with one or two transverse invariants and wide stable tune spreads. These lattices may drastically improve the performance of high-intensity machines, providing Landau damping to protect the beam from instabilities, while preserving dynamic aperture. The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) is being built at Fermilab to study these concepts with 150-MeV pencil electron beams (single-particle dynamics) and 2.5-MeV protons (dynamics with self fields). One way to obtain a nonlinear integrable lattice is by using the fields generated by a magnetically confined electron beam (electron lens) overlapping with the circulating beam. The required parameters are similar to the ones of existing devices. In addition, the electron lens will be used in cooling mode to control the brightness of the proton beam and to measure transverse profiles through recombination. More generally, it is of great interest to investigate whether nonlinear integrable optics allows electron coolers to exceed limitations set by both coherent or incoherent instabilities excited by space charge. |

TUPF04 | The MICE Demonstration of Ionization Cooling | emittance, solenoid, collider, factory | 104 |
|
|||
Muon beams of low emittance can provide the intense, well known beams for physics of flavour at the Neutrino Factory and multiTev collisions at the Muon Collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will demonstrate the technique proposed to reduce the phasespace volume of the muons. In an ionization cooling channel, the combination of energy loss by muons traversing an absorbing material with reacceleration by RF cavities reduces the transverse emittance of the beam (transverse cooling). The rebaselined MICE project will deliver a demonstration of ionization cooling by Sep 2017: a central Li-H absorber, two superconducting focus-coil modules and two 201 MHz singlecavity RF modules. The phase space of the muons entering and leaving the cooling cell will be measured by two solenoidal spectrometers. All the magnets for the ionization-cooling demonstration are available at RAL and the first singlecavity prototype was tested successfully in the MTA Area at Fermilab. The design of the cooling demonstration experiment, a summary of the performance of each of its components and the cooling performance of the configuration will be presented. | |||

THZAUD01 | Crystalline Beam Studies with Andy Sessler | storage-ring, ion, laser, focusing | 155 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 and the National Science Foundation, under Cooperative Agreement PHY-1102511. For over two decades since 1992, Andy Sessler worked with us as a hobby on the topic of crystallization of charged ion beams and cooling methods. In this paper, we review the studies jointly performed with Andy highlighting major findings and challenges, and discuss current status and possible future topics and directions. |
