MOPPM1R3 | Specifications and Status of the New Electron Cooler for the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD) | 5 |
|
||
A new electron cooler for the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) is being designed at CERN, and will replace the current device (in operation for more than 40 years), during the next Long Shutdown (2026-2028). The functional specifications [ref. to Davide’s IPAC23], recalled in this paper, favour high reliability, with improved performance in terms of time of cooling, obtained mainly with better field quality and possibly higher electron beam current. The status of the new electron cooler design is presented, showing an evolution that aims at easing integration, installation and maintenance. | ||

Status and prospects for the Antimatter Factory at CERN | |
|
||
The Antimatter Factory as CERN, consisting of the two decelerator rings, the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) and the Extra Low ENergy Antiproton (ELENA) ring, have emerged strongly out of CERNs Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). With the new electrostatic extraction lines from ELENA to the experiments replacing the old magnetic extraction lines from the AD to the experiment, up to four experiments can be served simultaneously in each cycle with 100 keV antiprotons as compared to 5.3 MeV before LS2. The much lower extraction energy make it possible for the experiments to increase the number of trapped, and hence usable, antiprotons with up to two orders of magnitude. We present the current state of the facility as well as the consolidation and upgrades already made during LS2 or planned for the next few years. | ||
