Two-dimensional Cooling of Ion Beams in Storage Rings by Narrow Broad-Band Laser Beams
نویسنده
چکیده
A new scheme for the two-dimensional cooling of ion beams in storage rings is suggested in which ions interact with a counterpropagating broad-band laser beam. The interaction region in the direction of the ion movement is much less then the wavelength of the ion betatron oscillations. The laser beam in the orbit plane has sharp flat edge directed to the ion beam and the width of the laser beam of the order of the ion beam width. Laser beam radial position is being displaced with some velocity at first from inside and then from outside to the ion beam and decreases both betatron and synchrotron oscillations.

Laser cooling of stored 24Mg ion beams recently led to the long anticipated experimental realization of Coulombordered ‘crystalline’ ion beams in the low-energy RF-quadrupole storage ring PAul Laser CooLing Acceleration System (Munich). Moreover, systematic studies revealed severe constraints on the cooling scheme and the storage ring lattice for the attainment and maintenance of the crystallin...
متن کاملExperimental approaches to crystalline ion beams
Facing the difficulties associated with the preparation of crystalline ion beams in heavy ion storage rings we propose two complementary table top schemes to elucidate fundamental issues like stability criteria for moving ion crystals at low velocities. One is based on a small radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) storage ring, where by laser cooling Mg ion crystals at rest were observed, but concep...

We report on the crystallization of laser cooled Mg+ ion beams circulating in the table-top rf quadrupole storage ring PALLAS at a velocity of 2800 m/s (beam energy 1 eV). A sudden collapse of the transverse beam size and the low velocity spread clearly indicate the phase transition to a onedimensional linear string of ions. This crystalline beam shows exceptional stability, surviving for more ...
متن کاملThe quest for crystalline ion beams
The phase transition of an ion beam into its crystalline state has long been expected to dramatically influence beam dynamics beyond the limitations of standard accelerator physics. Yet, although considerable improvement in beam cooling techniques has been made, strong heating mechanisms inherent to existing high-energy storage rings have prohibited the formation of the crystalline state in the...

We present recent results of our experiments on laser cooling of fast stored ion beams at the Heidelberg Test Storage Ring. The longitudinal motion of the ions is directly cooled by the light pressure force, whereas eecient transverse cooling is obtained indirectly by longitudinal-transverse coupling mechanisms. Laser cooling in novel bunch forms consisting of square-well buckets leads to longi...
