Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Beam Cooling Introduction 1. Electron Cooling 2. Ionization Cooling 3. Laser Cooling 4. Stochastic Cooling M. Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Beam Cooling Beam cooling is synonymous for a reduction of beam temperature. Temperature is equivalent to terms as phase space volume, emittance and momentum spread. Beam Cooling processes are not following Liouville‘s Theorem: `in a system where the particle motion is controlled by external conservative forces the phase space density is conserved´ (This neglects interactions between beam particles.) Beam cooling techniques are non-Liouvillean processes which violate the assumption of a conservative force. e.g. interaction of the beam particles with other particles (electrons, photons, matter) M. Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Cooling Force Generic (simplest case of a) cooling force: vx,y,s velocity in the rest frame of the beam non conservative, cannot be described by a Hamiltonian For a 2D subspace distribution function cooling (damping) rate in a circular accelerator: Transverse (emittance) cooling Longitudinal (momentum spread) cooling M. Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Beam Temperature Where does the beam temperature originate from? The beam particles are generated in a ‘hot’ source at rest (source) at low energy at high energy In a standard accelerator the beam temperature is not reduced (thermal motion is superimposed the average motion after acceleration) but: many processes can heat up the beam e.g. heating by mismatch, space charge, intrabeam scattering, internal targets, residual gas, external noise M. Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Beam Temperature Definition Longitudinal beam temperature Transverse beam temperature Distribution function Particle beams can be anisotropic: e.g. due to laser cooling or the distribution of the electron beam Don‘t confuse: beam energy beam temperature (e.g. a beam of energy 100 GeV can have a temperature of 1 eV) M. Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Benefits of Beam Cooling . Improved beam quality • Precision experiments • Luminosity increase . Compensation of heating • Experiments with internal target • Colliding beams . Intensity increase by accumulation • Weak beams from the source can be enhanced • Secondary beams (antiprotons, rare isotopes) M. Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw 1.

Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Electron Cooling Time first estimate: (Budker 1967) for large relative velocities cooling time cooling rate (-1): • slow for hot beams -3 • decreases with energy -2 ( is conserved) • linear dependence on electron beam intensity ne and cooler length =Lec/C • favorable for highly charged ions Q2/A • independent of hadron beam intensity for small relative velocities cooling rate is constant and maximum at small relative velocity F vrel = t = prel/F = constant M. Steck (GSI) CAS 2015, Warsaw Models of the Electron Cooling Force • binary collision model description of the cooling process by successive collisions of two particles and integration over all interactions analytic expressions become very involved, various regimes (multitude of Coulomb logarithms) • dielectric model interaction of the ion with a continuous electron plasma (scattering off of plasma waves) fails for small relative velocities and high ion charge • an empiric formula (Parkhomchuk) derived from experiments: M.
