The stochastic cooling is employed to reduce the momentum spread of accelerated 2 GeV proton beam at COSY. In addition the barrier voltages are successfully used to compensate the mean energy loss of the beam due to the thick internal target such as pellet target. To analyze the experimental results at COSY, we have developed the particle tracking code which simulate the particle behavior under the influences of stochastic cooling force, Schottky diffusion, thermal diffusion and IBS effects. The synchrotron motion due to the RF fields are included with 4th order symplectic way. The simulation results are well in agreement with the observed cooling process for the case of barrier voltage as well as RF field of harmonic number=1. In the present paper, the systematic analysis of the experimental results with use of the developed tracking codes are described. In addition the process of short bunch formation at the heavy ion collider at NICA project is investigated with use of the stochastic cooling. In that case the strong IBS effects are main limiting factor of making and keeping the short bunch as well as the space charge effects. Details of the simulation study will be presented.

Anti-proton beam accumulation at CERN and FNAL has been performed with use of stochastic stacking in the momentum space. Thus accumulated beam has a large momentum spread and resultantly large radial beam size with large dispersion ring. In the present proposed scenario, beams from the pre-cooling ring are injected into the longitudinal empty space prepared by the barrier voltages and subsequently the stochastic cooling is applied. After the well cooling, barrier voltages will prepare again the empty space for the next beam injection. We have simulated the stacking process up to 100 stacking with use of the bunched beam tracking code including the stochastic cooling force and the diffusion force such as Schottky diffusion term, thermal diffusion, IBS effects. The synchrotron motion by barrier voltages are included with 4th order symplectic method. Examples of the application to 3 GeV anti-proton beam for the HESR ring in FAIR project are presented as well as the accumulation of heavy ion beam 3.5 GeV/u Au, at the NICA collider at JINR project.

Numerical studies of longitudinal filter and time-of-flight (TOF) cooling suggest that the strong mean energy loss due to an internal Pellet target in the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at the FAIR facility can be compensated by cooling and operation of a barrier bucket (BB) cavity. In this contribution detailed experiments at COSY to compensate the mean energy loss are presented. The internal Pellet target was similar to that being used by the PANDA experiment at the HESR. A BB cavity was operated and either TOF or filter stochastic momentum cooling was applied to cool a proton beam. Experimental comparisons between the filter and TOF cooling method are discussed. Measurements to determine the mean energy loss which is used in the simulation codes are outlined. The experiments proved that the mean energy loss can be compensated with a BB cavity. Results are compared with numerical tracking simulations which include the synchrotron motion in a barrier bucket as well as in an h = 1 cavity and stochastic momentum cooling. A detailed discussion of the tracking simulation code will be outlined in a separate contribution to this conference.

A small momentum spread of proton beam has to be realized and kept in a storage ring during an experiment with a dense internal target such as a pellet target. A stochastic cooling alone does not compensate the mean energy loss by the internal target. Barrier bucket operation will cooperate effectively the energy loss. In addition, the further small momentum spread can be realized with use of an electron cooling. In the present study, the simulation results on the simultaneous use of stochastic cooling and electron cooling at COSY are presented.

The High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR) is part of the upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). The HESR will provide antiprotons in the momentum range from 1.5 to 15 GeV/c for the internal target experiment PANDA. The demanding requirements of PANDA in terms of beam quality and luminosity together with a limited production rate of antiprotons call for a long beam life time and a minimum of beam loss. Thus, a sufficiently large dynamic aperture of the HESR is crucial. To provide this, a chromaticity correction scheme for the HESR has been developed to reduce tune spread and thus to minimize the emittance growth caused by betatron resonances. The chromaticity correction scheme has been optimized through dynamic aperture calculations. The estimated field errors of the HESR dipole and quadrupole magnets have been included in the non-linear beam dynamics studies. The ion optical settings of the HESR have been improved using dynamic aperture calculations and frequency map analysis technique. In this presentation comprehensive beam simulations are presented and predictions of long-term stability based on short-term particle tracking and orbit diffusion discussed.
