Status of ELENA –Technical Report, Status of External ContributionsChristian Carli on behalf of the ELENA teams ADUC, 13th June 2012 Recap on ELENA machine and challenges, … Topics studied recently (mostly work in progress) Lattice and acceptance Bending magnets with very low fields Electron cooling at low energy and equilibrium with IBS Vacuum system and residual gas interactions Stray Field measurements Status of external Contributions Summary
Recap on ELENA machine and challenges Interaction length reduced to 0.8 m now • (Not that) short synchrotron decelerating p-barsfrom the AD to very low energy of 100 keV • Increase of phase space density by electron cooling at (two) low energy • Weak magnetic field (100 G planned at present) to limit lattice perturbations • Twiss parameter at coolerD ≈ 1.4 m, bx≈ by ≈ 2 m • Challenge for studies: • equilibrium beam parameters with IBSand other blow-up sources, cooler imperfections … • optimization of (lattice) parameters • Electron beam potential creates parabolic electron velocity profile (plotted for 0.5 and 1 mA at 100 keV) • Transfer lines • Electrostatic lines proposed: cheap and magnetic shielding simpler • H- (or other ion) source for commissioning 13th June 2012 ELENA Status C.Carli on behalf of the ELENA team
Recap on ELENA machine and challenges Anti- • Direct space charge effects • Additional defocusing due toCoulomb repulsion • Non-linear, depending on positionin bunch • Tune shift and spread (rule of thumb:maximum -0.1 to -0.3 just an indication – true for low periodicity and energy?) • Limits intensity per bunch (or bunch length) • Very low energy and, in consequence, low beam rigidity and magnetic fields • Deflection due to ~0.5 G earth magnetic field at 100 keV (beam rigidity 457 Gm): > 1 mrad/m • Careful investigations on stray fields to be expected … good closed orbit control • Ratio between magnet gap and curvature radius not (that) small: correct modeling of magnet entrance/exit • Good field quality of very low field magnets a challenge • Instabilities • Possibly despite low intensity with small emittances (momentum spread) and energy • Large direct space charge impedance due to low energy 13th June 2012 ELENA Status C.Carli on behalf of the ELENA team
Recap on ELENA machine and challenges x (trans. position) s (long. position) • Intra Beam Scattering (IBS) • Consider coordinate system movingwith (average velocity of) beam • Still unordered motion of beamparticles • Can be associated with temperature(beam cooling = reduction of thisunordered motion) • IBS: Coulomb scattering between beam particles • ELENA: longitudinal temperature (and relative velocities) small compared to longitudinal ones(longitudinal electron cooling faster than transverse one) • Likely to transfer heat from transverse plane to longitudinal plane • Likely the main limitation for equilibrium emittances with electron cooling • Several theories exist and give similar results taking into account: • “Dispersion” (describing how beam position depends on (relative) momentum offset) tends to generate horizontal emittance growth due to IBS • Variations of beta-functions (beam sizes) around ring, coupling between transverse planes… 13th June 2012 ELENA Status C.Carli on behalf of the ELENA team
Lattice and Layout PavelBeloshitsky • Challenges (usual for low small rings) for lattice design and optics • Many constraints and few “free parameters” (quads) • Suitable working point and sufficient acceptances (small maximum beta function, but also large dynamic aperture with non-linearities) • Long straight with small dispersion for electron cooling .. • Modeling of magnets with not that small gaps (compared to bending radius) • Many geometries and lattices studied since last autumn • Square, hexagonal,triangular shape, different quadrupolelocations • Baseline lattice (QX≈2.3, QY≈1.3) chosen for further detailed studies • Discussion e.g. on acceptancesand apertures on-going 13th June 2012 ELENA Status C.Carli on behalf of the ELENA team

Vacuum system and rest gas interactions Electrons Nucleus • Very low pressure and velocity at 100 keV • Most p-bars do not interact with rest gas molecules (black): in average ~40 s between interactions! • Nuclear interactions (red): very rare • Large angle scattering outside acceptance (orange): large cross section due to low energy (losses slow due to low pressure and velocity) • Small angle scattering (blue): • several deflections of one p-bar at 100 keV very unlikely • Rms angles (and blow-up) strongly overestimated if p-bars undergoing large angle scattering angles are taken into account 13th June 2012 ELENA Status C.Carli on behalf of the ELENA team
