Proton-Antiproton Colliding Beams Coming Nearer Work Well Under Way for One of the Experimental Areas at the CERN Proton- Antiproton Collider Proton-antiproton colliding beams coming nearer Work well under way for one of the experimental areas at the CERN proton- antiproton collider. The apparatus for the UA1 experiment will be assembled in the cylindrical shaft seen in the picture, and then rolled into position in a second shaft, to be excavated around the SPS tunnel. (Photo CERN 104.2.80) On 1 6 June the CERN SPS will start its 'big shutdown', with no operation for almost a year while the machine and experiments are prepared for proton-antiproton colliding beams. Such a major sacrifice of prime research time has never been seen before and is as sure a pointer as any to the importance of the extension in CERN's research potential which the proton-antiproton collider will bring. This article recalls the major features of the CERN scheme, and of the project at Fermilab, and de­ scribes the preparations now under way or imminent at CERN for the experiments and for the machines. The CERN scheme Thefirst CERN plans, orchestrated particularly by Carlo Rubbia, emerged in 1976 following crucial advances in accelerator physics — the demonstration at Novosibirsk of Gersh Budker's idea of electron cooling, and at CERN of Simon van der Meer's proposal for stochastic cooling. These beam cooling techni­ ques enable intense beams of stable particles to be built up, and thus make it feasible to do physics with colliding beams of antiprotons. The system which is now under construction at CERN will take 1013 protons, at 26 GeV and concen­ trated in five bunches, every 2.4 s from the PS to yield 2.5 x 107 anti- protons at 3.5 GeV from a target for subsequent injection into the Anti- proton Accumulator ring (AA). In the AA ring a fast precooling (about a factor of ten in the beam spread over 2 s) will be carried out.

  • Optical Stochastic Cooling V
    OPTICAL STOCHASTIC COOLING V. Lebedev1, Fermilab, Batavia, IL 60510, U.S.A. Abstract Intrabeam scattering and other diffusion mechanisms result in a growth of beam emittances and luminosity degradation in hadron colliders. In particular, at the end of Tevatron Run II when optimal collider operation was achieved only about 40% of antiprotons were burned in collisions to the store end and the rest were discarded. Taking into account a limited rate of antiproton production further growth of the integral luminosity was not possible without beam cooling. Similar problems limit the integral luminosity in the RHIC operating with protons. For both cases beam cooling is the only effective remedy to increase the luminosity integral. Unfortunately neither electron nor stochastic cooling can be effective at the beam energy and the bunch density required for modern hadron colliders. Even in the case of LHC where synchrotron radiation damping is already helpful for beam cooling its cooling rates are still insufficient to support an optimal operation of the collider. In this paper we consider principles and main limitations for the optical stochastic cooling (OSC) representing a promising technology capable to achieve required cooling rates. The OSC is based on the same principles as the normal microwave stochastic cooling but uses much smaller wave length resulting in a possibility of dense beam cooling. Introduction The stochastic cooling was suggested by Simon Van der Meer [1]. It was critically important technology for success of the first proton-antiproton collider [2]. Since then it has been successfully used in a number of machines for particle cooling and accumulation.

Its history is traced from the original proposal in 1966, to the first pp collisions in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) in 1981, and to the present time with drastically improved performance. This project led to the discovery of the intermediate vector boson in 1983 and produced one of the most exciting and productive physics periods in CERN's history.

  • Beam Cooling
    BEAM COOLING D.Möhl CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. Abstract To date, four main methods to increase the phase-space density of + - circulating beams in storage rings are operational: cooling of e e -beams by synchrotron radiation, stochastic cooling of (anti-)protons and ions by a feedback system, cooling of protons and ions by electrons, and cooling of special ions by laser light. A fifth method, ionisation cooling of muons, is under intense development. Each of these techniques is covered in detail in previous accelerator school proceedings and other tutorial articles [1]. The present paper is the write-up of a one-hour lecture at the CERN Accelerator School as well as of an opening talk at a workshop (‘Phase- Space Cooling and Related Topics’, Bad Honnef, May 2001). The object is to introduce the different techniques in a common framework, to put them into perspective and to point to potential future developments. 1. INTRODUCTION Beam cooling aims at ‘the impossible’, namely at reducing --without loss of particles-- the (normalized) emittance of beams, thereby increasing their density also called ‘brightness’. To make this possible, one has to circumvent Liouville’s theorem [2]. For a long time this good old maxim was assumed to imply that in all beam handling operations the normalized phase space density can only decrease or at best stay constant. It took perseverance and insight, to overthrow this dogma. Beam cooling is thus a fascinating subject [3]. It attracts our curiosity as engineers and physicists for several good reasons: it was long thought to be impossible; it (still) is one of the most advanced techniques for beam handling; it has lead --and it will continue to lead-- to spectacular achievements in elementary particle research.

CEC combines the advantages of two existing discussed. The method promises to increase by a few methods, electron cooling (microscopic scale of orders of magnitude the cooling rate for heavy particle interaction between ion beam and cooling media, the beams with a large emittance for a wide energy range electron beam) and stochastic cooling (amplification of with respect to either electron and conventional stochastic media response to ions).
