Coherent electron cooling (CeC) relies on Debye shielding to imprint information of the ion beam to an electron beam [1]. Apart from the density modulation, Debye shielding also modulates the energy of electrons, which provides additional seeding for the free electron laser (FEL) amplifier. In this work, we show that the energy modulation of a longitudinal slice of the electrons, induced by dynamic Debye shielding of a moving ion in anisotropic electron plasma with κ-2 velocity distribution, can be expressed into a 1D integral. The results are then applied to the 1D FEL model to investigate the effects of energy modulation to the correcting force in the kicker. [1] V.N. Litvinenko, Y.S.

Advances in nuclear physics depend on experiments that employ relativistic hadron accelerators with dramatically increased luminosity. Current methods of increasing hadron beam luminosity include stochastic cooling and electron cooling; however, these approaches face serious difficulties at the high intensities and high energies proposed for eRHIC *. Coherent electron cooling promises to cool hadron beams at a much faster rate**. A single pass of an ion through a coherent electron cooler involves the ion's modulating the charge density of a copropagating electron beam, amplification of the modulated electron beam in a free-electron laser, and energy correction of the ion in the kicker section. Numerical simulations of these three components are underway, using the parallel Vorpal framework and Genesis 1.3, with careful coupling between the two codes. Here we present validations of two components of the simulations: Adding bunching to an electron beam at the start of an FEL, and the time-dependent charge density modulation in the kicker. * http://www.bnl.gov/cad/eRHIC/ ** V.N.

MOPWO088 | Semi-analytical Description of the Modulator Section of the Coherent Electron Cooling | 1082 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. We discuss the theoretical description of the modulator section of the coherent electron cooling (CeC)*, the modern realization of the stochastic electron cooling, where the electron beam serves as a modulator and a kicker, i.e., it records the information about the hadron beam via electron density perturbations resulting from the shielding of the hadrons and then accelerates or decelerates hadrons by its electric field with respect to their velocities. To analyze the performance of the CeC shielding of a hadron in an electron beam should be computed with high precision. We propose a solution of this problem via Fourier and Laplace transforms for 1D, 2D and 3D plasmas. In some cases there are fully analytical solutions, which gave an opportunity to test semi-analytical ones involving numerical evaluations of the inverse integral transforms. Having its own practical value this solution will also serve as a testing ground for our general solution via numerical treatment of the integral equations applicable for the realistic case of the finite beam**. * V.

TUPFI079 | A Proposed “Delay Line” for Hadron Beams in RHIC | 1532 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. A “delay line” has been proposed to be installed in the Blue ring of the RHIC to accommodate collisions of asymmetric nuclei. The delay line can also be used in the e-RHIC accelerator to accommodate electron hadron collisions at various energies. We will present the layout and the optics of the delay line and we will discuss the energy range that asymmetric collisions can be performed in the RHIC collider. |

TUPFI081 | Progress with Coherent Electron Cooling Proof-Of-Principle Experiment | 1535 |
|

We conduct proof-of-the-principle experiment of coherent electron cooling (CEC), which has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy, high-intensity hadron colliders. In this paper, we present the progress with experimental equipment including the first tests of the electron gun and the magnetic measurements of the wiggler prototype. We describe current design status as well as near future plans. | ||
TUPWA074 | Studies of Ion Beam Instabilities for Low Energy RHIC Operations with Electron Cooling | 1871 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Electron cooling has the potential to compensate the emittance growth of the circulating ion beam due to intra-beam scattering at low energy. A test of electron cooling for RHIC low energy operations has been planned at IP2. Apart from the wakefield from the environment, the coherent interaction between the electron beam and ion beam could also play a role for the instability threshold. This work presents studies of ion beam stabilities in presence of coherent electron-ion interactions for the planned low energy RHIC electron-cooling test using the simulation code TRANFT. |
