MEIC Electron Cooler Design Concept. EC potential impact to colliders. Reaching a high start luminosity
E N D
EC potential impact to colliders Reaching a high start luminosity • Very short i-bunches achieved by longitudinal cooling in combination with SRF(cannot be attained with stochastic cooling!) make sense to design a super-strong focusing (low beta) at IP • Short bunches allow one toemploythe crab-crossing beams, thus avoiding the parasitic b-binteractions • Low transverse emittance + high rep. rate allow one to minimize charge/bunch Extending the luminosity lifetime • ECsuppresses beam heating and luminosity loss caused by multiple and Touschek IBS
HEEC basics solenoid Co-moving “cold” electron beam serves as thermostat for a hot ion beam (i – e Coulomb collision exchange) ion bunch electron bunch Cooling section Magnetized e-gun Injector SRF linac Cooling conditions: Cooling time grows with Therefore: staged cooling
Staged EC Initial electron cooling High luminosity colliding beams * norm. rms • ** max. amplitude * norm. rms
Staged Cooling in Ion Collider Ring • Initial cooling after ions injected into the collider ring for reduction of 3d emittance before acceleration • After boost & re-bunching, cooling for reaching design values of beam parameters in colliding mode • Continuous cooling during collision for suppressing IBS, maintaining luminosity lifetime
High Energy e-Cooler for Collider Ring • Design Requirements: • up to 10.8 MeV for cooling at injection energy (20 GeV/c) • up to 54 MeVfor cooling top proton energy (100 GeV/c) • Cooling e-beam current : • up to 1.5 A CW beam at 750 MHz repetition rate • About 2 nC bunch charge (possible space charge issue at low energy) • Solution: ERL Based Circulator Cooler (ERL-CCR) • Must be an SRF Linacfor accelerating electron beam • Must be Energy Recovery (ERL) to solve RF power problem • Must be Circulator -cooler ring (CCR) for reducing current from source/ERL • ERL-CCR is considered to provide • the required high cooling current while consuming • fairly low RF power and • reasonable current from injector

Cooler Design Parameters • Number of turns in circulator cooler ring is determined by degradation of electron beam quality caused by inter/intra beam heating up and space charge effect. • Space charge effect could be a leading issue when electron beam energy is low. • It is estimated that beam quality (as well as cooling efficiency) is still good enough after 100 to 300 turns in circulator ring. • This leads directly to a 100 to 300 times saving of electron currents from the source/injector and ERL.
Issues Space charge limitations in CCR: • Coulomb interaction (non-linear Laslett detune) • CSR Intra- and Inter-Beam Scattering in CCR Source/Injector/ERL/CCR beam matching gymnastics • Magnetized cathode • Matching with cooling solenoids, straights and arcs • Beam size at cathode and related canonical emittance • Other agendas? (space charge dominated beam in axial optics…) Fast kicker (beam-beam or other) And more…
Technology: Ultra-Fast Kicker Beam-beam kicker V. Shiltsev, NIM 1996 F • A short (1~ 3 cm) target electron bunch passes through a long (15 ~ 50 cm) low-energy flat bunch at a very close distance, receiving a transverse kick • The kicking force is • integrating it over whole kicking bunching gives the total transverse momentum kick • Proof-of-principle test of this fast kicker idea can be planned. Simulation studies will be initiated. surface charge density v≈c h D kicking beam σc v0 L An ultra-fast RF kicker is also under development.
