  Electron cooling of 8 GeV antiprotons at Fermilab’s Recycler storage ring is now routinely used in the collider operation. It requires a 0.1-0.5 A, 4.3 MeV DC electron beam that reduces the longitudinal phase-space of the circulating antiproton beam. This paper first describes the characteristics of the electron beam that was achieved to successfully cool antiprotons as well as its necessary stability. Then, results from various cooling force measurements along with comparison to a simple non-magnetized model will be presented. Finally, operational aspects of the implementation of electron cooling at the Recycler will be discussed, such as regulation of the cooling rate and the influence of the electron beam on the antiprotons lifetime.

  We have investigated coherent transverse instability when high-density circulating-ion beam was obtained with cool-stacking injection in the HIMAC synchrotron. By using a cooled beam and the Oxygen gas-sheet beam profile monitor, further, we have observed a particle trapping in resonance crossing. We will report these experimental studies at the HIMAC synchrotron.

  A comprehensive examination of theoretical models for the friction force, in use by the electron cooling community, was performed. Here, we present our insights about the models gained as a result of comparison between the friction force formulas and direct numerical simulations, as well as studies of the cooling process as a whole.  
WEAY05 New experimental results on electron cooling at COSY-Juelich 223
 
  • J. Dietrich

  Recent electron cooling results of a proton beam at COSY – Juelich are summarized. The influence of residual gas ions trapped in the electron beam on the cooled beam stability as well as methods to suppress the instabilities are described. Results on the numerical simulation for the formation of a crystalline proton beam in COSY using the BETACOOL code and results of experimental investigations of the cooling process at extremely low proton beam intensity are reported. Future plans are briefly addressed.

  At ICR, Kyoto University, an ion storage/cooler ring, S-LSR has been operated since the October, 2005. S-LSR has capability of dispersion free mode* throughout the whole circumference in order to avoid the shear heating** due to momentum dispersion of ion beam orbits. With such a mode, we need a special devise to develop necessary coupling between the longitudinal and transverse degrees of freedom for 3-dimensional laser cooling.*** A Wien Filter, in which the magnetic and electric fields overlap with strengths compensating each other for ions with a certain velocity, is to be utilized in the straight section where the usual laser cooling is applied. Due to the potential difference caused by the electric field in the Wien Filter, the difference in horizontal position of the circulating ion creates the difference of the equillibrium energy after laser cooling, which realizes "Tapered Cooling"****. In the present paper, a possible strategy of experimental approach at S-LSR toward 3-dimensional crystalline ion beams with use of the Wien Filter is to be presented.
