  Plasma-Cascade micro-bunching Amplifier has potential of providing largest bandwidth for boosting ion imprint in Coherent electron Cooling systems. We present results of experimental demonstration of High gain Plasma Cascade Amplifier in the Coherent electron Cooling experiment system at BNL. We present results our simulation, experimental set-up and analysis of our measurements.

We discuss current advances and remaining challenges in demonstrating Coherent electron Cooling for 26.5 GeV/u ion beam circulating in Relativistic Heavy Ion Colder, RHIC. Since 2020, the CeC experiment utilizes a 4-cell Plasma Cascade micro-bunching Amplifier (PCA) with bandwidth of 20 THz. We report on results obtained during CeC last four years of CeC experiment, including measurements of ion imprint in electron beam, demonstration of high PCA gain and observation of recombination of electrons and Au ions. While we were unable to clearly established CeC cooling, we clearly observed weak regular electron cooling of 26.5 GeV/u ions - the record energy for electron cooling. We discuss challenges experienced during last runs, improvements to the CeC X system and our plans for demonstration of CeC cooling in near future.

  The Coherent electron Cooling (CeC) proof of principle experiment requires a high quality electron beam with uniform temporal profile in the cooling section for optimized cooling performance. Due to the nature of strong ballistic compression in the CeC accelerator, a regular initial laser distribution fails to generate such uniform electron beam. Wide choices of initial laser profile with unconventional beam distributions have been studied in simulation. In this paper, we present our findings to possible solution(s) in achieving the uniform electron beam for cooling experiments.
