Simulation of Electron Cooling Process in a Storage Ring
- Received Date: 1996-02-15
Abstract: A simulation of the electron cooling process for the heavy ion beam in the proposed HIRFL cooler-storage ring (HIRFL-CSR) is performed by taking into account the betatron and synchrotron oscillations of single particles. The continuous evolution of ion beam emittances and relative momentum spread are given. Some factoid that influence the cooling time, like the space charge effect of the electron beam, the dispersion in the cooling section, and the electron beam transverse temperature are presented.
