Scaling Laser Cooling of Ion Beams towards High Beam Energies | |
|
||
Laser cooling has proven to be a viable technique for reducing the longitudinal phase space volume of bunched ion beams up to relativistic energies. Moreover, the fluorescence emitted from the ions due to deexcitation of the laser-excited cooling transition can serve as a powerful tool for atomic physics, e.g. for spectroscopy of fast transitions in highly charged ions, but also as a versatile diagnostic that can be seen as complimentary to standard, charge-based diagnostic techniques. In this presentation we will discuss how to design laser cooling setups for future high energy ion beam facilities such as FAIR and HIAF with special emphasis on the laser ion beam interaction and the resulting demands on laser systems used for reliable, turn-key laser cooling setups. We will present the state of the art of laser cooling, presenting recent results from beam times at ESR, GSI Darmstadt, and CSRe, IMP Lanzhou. | ||
