WEZCH03 | Status of the Nuclotron | 117 |
|
||
One of the goals of present Nuclotron development is to test operational modes, diagnostic and beam control equipment required for R&D of the NICA collider elements. Main achievement in this direction are descussed. Results of the last runs of the Nuclotron operation are presented. | ||

MOPPA016 | Dynamics of 197Au78+ Ions Generated in Recombination with Cooling Electrons in the NICA Collider | 275 |
|
||
Ions 197Au78+ are generated in recombination of original bare nuclei 197Au79+ with cooling electrons in the electron cooler of the NICA Collider. The ions 197Au78+ dynamics is considered in the in energy range 1–4.5 GeV/u when ion beam is bunched with RF voltage (collision mode operation of the NICA Collider). It is shown that some part of 197Au78+ ions can be involved in synchrotron motion when other part suffers a chaotic motion regime. Most of these ions live in vacuum chamber until further recombination in to the state of 197Au77+ and leave the Collider acceptance very fast. The evolution in time of ion distribution over the Collider aperture is presented. | ||
TUPPB002 | Effect of Gold Nuclei Recombination in Electron Cooling System on Beam Lifetime in the NICA Collider | 307 |
|
||
On the basis of experimental data the production of the ions Au78+ and Au77+ as a result of step-by-step radiative recombination of bare nuclei on free electrons in the NICA Collider electron cooling system is presented. The influence of Au78+ ions on the luminosity lifetime is discussed. The optimum working cycle of the NICA Collider is described. | ||

Experimental Studies of Secondary Electron-Electron Emission by Vacuum Chamber Surface | |
|
||
The experiment to measure secondary electron yield (SEY) of the samples coated with titanium nitride (TiN2) is in progress at the test-bench "Recuperator". This work is related to the problem of the electron clouds formation in vacuum chamber surface. This effect plays an important role in limiting the performance of the collider NICA. The results of the experiment to measure SEY will allow us to choose the most suitable coating material of vacuum chambers. In this experiment we compared samples of stainless steel coated with titanium nitride and uncoated ones. | ||
