  Traditional theoretical description of stochastic cooling process involves either ordinary differential equations for desired rms quantities or corresponding Fokker-Planck equations. Both approaches use different methods of derivation and seem independent, making transition from one to another quite an issue, incidentally entangling somewhat the basic physics underneath. On the other hand, treatment of the stochastic cooling as Wiener pro-cess and starting from the single-particle dynamics written in the form of Langevin equation seems to bring more clarity and integrity. Present work is an attempt to apply Wiener process formalism to the stochastic cooling in order to have a simple and consistent way of deriving its well-known equations.

  The CR stochastic cooling system aims at fast 3D cooling of antiprotons, rare isotopes and stable ions. Because of the large apertures and the high gain needed to cool the hot secondary beams, damping within the 1-2 GHz band of the unwanted microwave modes propagating through the vacuum chambers is essential. It will be realised with UHV- compatible, resistively coated ceramic tubes and ferrites. The greatest challenge is increasing the signal to noise ratio for antiproton cooling by means of cryogenic movable (plunging) pickup electrodes, which follow the shrinking beam during cooling and then withdraw fast before the new injection. Linear motor drive units plunge synchroneously the pickup electrodes on both sides of the ion beam (horizontal/vertical). Their technical (mechanical, electrical, controls) concept and specification is summarized. Their performance has been demonstrated in successive measurements inside testing chambers at GSI. Recent simulations of the critical antiproton cooling with the designed system are shown. Longitudinal cooling and its simultaneous transverse cooling are studied with the Fokker-Planck code and with an analytical model, respectively.

TUP17 Design of Stochastic Pick-Ups and Kickers for Low Beta Particle Beams 68

  The COSY facility hosts experiments for the JEDI (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) collabora-tion. Polarized deuteron beams with a momentum of 970 MeV/c are stored in the ring. To achieve polarization times in the order of several minutes, small emittances and momentum spread are crucial. Therefore, the beam is pre-cooled with the 100-kV electron cooler. To further improve the spin coherence time, cooling during the experiments would be desirable. That way, the beam blow-up due to intra beam scattering could be compen-sated. But since the focusing solenoids in the e-cooler may not be perfectly compensated, it cannot be used to cool during the experiments. The existing stochastic cooling (SC) system is not sensitive at low beam veloci-ties. Thus, it is proposed to build a dedicated SC system for low beta beams. This work presents the proposed sys-tem. It emphasizes the design process of pick-up and kicker hardware. Starting from the slot-ring structures that have been developed for HESR, an optimization towards a high sensitivity at a beta of 0.46 is undertaken.

  We report on the preliminary design of Slot-ring and Faltin type pickups and kickers for stochastic pre-cooling of rare isotope beams from 625 MeV/u to 840 MeV/u (\beta: 0.80-0.85), or from 400 MeV/u to 625 MeV/u (\beta: 0.71-0.80), using a bandwidth of 1-2 GHz (or 0.6-1.2 GHz) for Spectrometer ring (Sring) in the HIAF project at IMP. The kicker shunt impedance and signal output phase of Slot-ring and Faltin type are calculated by HFSS. From the simulation results, Slot-ring structure is better for higher \beta (0.80-0.85), and Faltin type will be a better choice for \beta from 0.71 to 0.80 when the beam aperture is 200 mm*120 mm.

  The construction phase of the stochastic cooling tanks for the HESR has started. Meanwhile two pickups (PU) and one kicker (KI) are fabricated. One PU and one KI are installed into the COSY ring for testing the new stochastic cooling system with real beam at various momenta. Small test-structures were already successfully operated at the Nuclotron in Dubna for longitudinal filter cooling but not for transverse cooling and as small PU in COSY. During the last COSY beam-time in 2017 additional transverse and ToF cooling were achieved. The first two series high power amplifiers were used for cooling and to test the temperature behavior of the combiner-boards at the KI. The system layout includes all components as planned for the HESR like low noise amplifier, switchable delay-lines and optical notch-filter. The HESR needs fast transmission-lines between PU and KI. Beside air-filled coax-lines, optical hollow fiber-lines are very attractive. First results with such a fiber used for the transverse signal path will be presented.

Stochastic Cooling Plan and Experiments for HIAF and CSRe  
 
  • J.X. Wu

  In December 2015 stochastic cooling of heavy ions was successfully applied for the first time at the CSRe storage ring of IMP in Lanzhou, China. During four days of commissioning, three-dimensional cooling could be observed. Both the time-of-flight and the notch filter methods were used for longitudinal cooling. The measured cooling rates are presented. In the end of December 2015, the project HIAF'High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility was approved by the Chinese government. The project will be started to construct in 2018. Stochastic cooling will be built at the spectrometer ring (SRing) mainly for experiments with radioactive fragment beams with a large phase space, which is very similar to CSRe. After the stochastic pre-cooling, the subsequent electron cooling will further cool down the emittance and Dp/p to get extremely well-cooled beams. The primary design and the simulation results will be presented at the conference.

Algorithmic Control of Stochastic Cooling Systems

  Adjustment of stochastic cooling systems especially from scratch is usually very tedious and time-consuming, but at the same time it is quite straightforward and therefore could be made fully automatic. The basic parameters one should consider to set-up a stochastic cooling system are system delay and gain, and optionally a notch-filter frequency and attenuation. With proper algorithms the adjustment and control of these parameters could be done to the best accuracy and speed. To achieve this a universal software and hardware solutions were developed, allowing for fast automatic adjustment of stochastic cooling systems as well as for maintaining the adjustment during system operation without maintenance stops or beam disturbance. This report presents the developed approach for the automatic control and adjustment of stochastic cooling systems.
