  One challenge in the development of a relativistic electron cooler is the powering of components, e.g. HV-solenoids, which sit on different potentials within a high voltage vessel and need a floating power supply. Within a design study, BINP SB RAS Novosibirsk has proposed two possibilities to build a power supply in a modular way. The first proposal is to use two cascade transformers per module. One cascade transformer powers 22 small HV-solenoids; the second one should generate the acceleration/deceleration voltage. The cascade transformers are fed by a turbo generator, which is powered by a gas under high pressure which is generated outside of the vessel. The second possibility is to use two big HV-solenoids per module. In this proposal, the HV-solenoids are powered directly by a turbo generator. For both concepts, a suitable turbo generator is essential. A potential candidate for the turbo generator could be the Green Energy Turbine (GET) from the company DEPRAG, which works with dry air and delivers a power of 5 kW. At the Helmholtz-Institut Mainz two GETS are tested. After an introduction, we present our experience with the GET and give an overview of the further road map.

TUWAUD01 Status, Recent Results and Prospect of the International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) detector, alignment, emittance, electron 67

  Muon accelerators have been proposed as a means to produce intense, high energy muon beams for particle physics. Designs call for beam cooling to provide suitable beams. Existing cooling schemes cannot operate on time scales that are competitive with the muon lifetime. Ionisation cooling has been proposed as a means to achieve sufficient cooling, but it has never been demonstrated practically. In the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE), based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, ionisation cooling will be demonstrated. MICE Step IV is currently in progress and will be completed in 2016. Muons are brought onto an absorber, resulting in a reduction of momentum and hence reduction of normalised transverse emittance. The full Demonstration of Ionisation Cooling will take place in 2017. An extra magnet module and RF cavities will be installed, as in a cell of a cooling channel. This will enable demonstration of reduction of emittance and subsequent re-acceleration, both critical components for a realistic ionisation cooling channel.

TUWAUD03 Study of Helical Cooling Channel for Intense Muon Source plasma, cavity, simulation, emittance 72

  Linear beam dynamics of muons in a helical cooling channel is non-trivial. Betatron oscillation in the channel is induced by coupling of motions in xyz-planes. As a result, the analytic eigen values are very complicated. The cooling decrements are controlled by tuning coupling strength. The helical dynamic parameters are translated into the conventional accelerator physics term. Non-linear dynamics in the helical channel is studied by using the conventional accelerator technique. The beam-plasma interaction in a high-pressure hydrogen gas-filled RF cavity is a new physics process and important to design the cooling channel. Machine development of helical beam elements is also shown in this presentation.

  The problems of development of high energy electron coolers are discussed on the basis of the existing experience. Necessities of electron cooling application to NICA collider are considered and the project parameters of the electron cooler at NICA collider are presented. Electron cooler of the NICA Collider is under design and development of its elements at JINR. It will provide the formation of an intense ion beam and maintain it in the electron energy range of 0.5'2.5 MeV. To achieve the required energy of the electrons all the elements of the Cooler are placed in the tanks filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas under pressure of 6 atm. For testing the Cooler elements the test bench «Recuperator» is used and upgraded. The results of testing of the prototypes of the Cooler elements and the present stage of the technical design of the Cooler are described in this paper.

TUPF04 The MICE Demonstration of Ionization Cooling emittance, lattice, collider, factory 104
 
  • T.A. Mohayai

  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.

TUPF09 Decoupling and Matching of Electron Cooling Section in the MEIC Ion Collider Ring ion, electron, collider, coupling 116

  To get a luminosity level of 1033 cm-2 s-1 at all design points of the MEIC, small transverse emittance is necessary in the ion collider ring, which is achieved by an electron cooling. And for the electron cooling, two solenoids are used to create a cooling environment of temperature exchange between electron beam and ion beam. However, the solenoids can also cause coupling and matching problem for the optics of the MEIC ion ring lattice. Both of them will have influences on the IP section and other areas, especially for the beam size, Twiss parameters, and nonlinear effects. A symmetric and flexible method is used to deal with these problems. With this method, the electron cooling section is merged into the ion ring lattice elegantly.

THYAUD02 Front End and HFOFO Snake for a Muon Facility target, factory, proton, collider 150

A neutrino factory or muon collider requires the capture and cooling of a large number of muons. Scenarios for capture, bunching, phase-energy rotation and initial cooling of muonss produced from a proton source target have been developed for neutrino factory and Muon Collider designs. The baseline scenarios requires a drift section from the target, a bunching section and a phase-energy rotation section leading into the cooling channel. The currently preferred cooling channel design is an 'HFOFO Snake' configuration that cools both μ+ and μ- transversely and longitudinally. The status of the design is presented and variations are discussed.
