| MOY02 | NICA Ion Coolider at JINR | 12 |
|
||
| The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction in JINR. The NICA goals are providing of colliding beams for studies of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The accelerator facility of collider NICA consists of following elements: acting Alvarez-type linac LU-20 of light ions at energy 5 MeV/u, constructed a new light ion linac of light ions at energy 7 MeV/n and protons at energy 13 MeV, new acting heavy ion linac HILAC with RFQ and IH DTL sections at energy 3.2 MeV/u, new acting superconducting booster synchrotron at energy up 600 MeV/u, acting superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron at gold ion energy 4.5 GeV/n and mounted two Collider storage rings with two interaction points. The status of acceleration complex NICA is under discussion. | ||

| WEA01 | Beam Transfer Systems of NICA Facility: from HILAC to Booster | 61 |
|
||
| New accelerator complex is being constructed by Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) in frame of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) project. The NICA layout includes new Booster and existing Nuclotron synchrotrons as parts of the heavy ion injection chain of the NICA Collider as well as beam transport lines which are the important link for the whole accelerator facility. Designs and current status of beam transfer systems in the beginning part of the NICA complex, which are partially commissioned, are presented in this paper. | ||

| MOY01 | The NICA Complex Injection Facility | 7 |
|
||
| The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is un-der construction in JINR. The NICA goals are providing of colliding beams for studies of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The NICA complex injection facility consists of four accelerators: Alvarez-type linac LU-20 of light ions up to 5 MeV/u; heavy ion linac HILAC with RFQ and IH DTL sections at energy 3.2 MeV/u; superconducting Booster synchrotron at energy up 578 MeV/u; superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron at gold ion energy 3.85 GeV/u. In the nearest future the old LU-20 will be substituted by a new light ion linac for acceleration of 2<A/z<3 ions up to 7 MeV/u with additional two acceleration sections for protons, first IH section for 13 MeV and the second one - superconducting for 20 MeV. The status of NICA injec-tion facility is under discussion. | ||

NICA Stochastic Cooling: Conceptual Design Project and Status | |
|
||
| The broadband feedback system for the beam stochastic cooling is one of the crucial elements of the NICA collider. The goals of the system are to support the beam accumulation and to preserve the beam quality during collisions by counteracting the beam heating processes. The Conceptual Design Project and current status of the system are presented. | ||

| TUPSB04 | Features of the Electronic Cooling System of the NICA Booster | 236 |
|
||
| The report presents the results obtained during the commissioning the Electron Cooling System (ECS) of the Booster, the first in the chain of three synchrotrons of the NICA accelerator complex. The work was performed without an ion beam and with a circulating ion beam He1+. In the work with a circulating ion beam, the effect of reducing the lifetime of the circulating ions was observed when the velocities of the cooling electrons and the cooled ions coincide. The dependences of the electron beam current on the ECS parameters for different electron energy values were experimentally obtained. The specific features of operation of electron gun of the NICA Booster are hollow beam formation and the phenomenon of virtual cathode creation confirmed both experiments and by numerical simulation. | ||

| WEA02 | Acceleration the Beams of He⁺ and Fe14+ Ions by HILAC and its Injection into NICA Booster in its Second Run | 65 |
|
||
| Injector of NICA accelerating facility based on the Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator (HILAC) is aimed to inject the heavy ions having atomic number A~200 and ratio A/Z - 6.25 produced by ESIS ion source accelerated up to the 3.2 MeV for the injection into superconducting synchrotron (SC) Booster. The project output energy of HILAC was verified on commissioning in 2018 using the beams of carbon ions produced with the Laser Ion Source and having ratio A/Z=6 that is close to the project one. Beams of He1+ ions were injected into Booster in its first run and accelerated in 2020. In 2021 ions of Fe14+ produced with the LIS were injected and accelerated up to 200 MeV/u. Beam formation of Fe ions and perspectives of using LIS for the production the ions with high atomic mass A and ratio A/Z matching to HILAC input parameters are described. | ||
