New method to measure the friction force of electron coolers in heavy-ion storage rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel way to measure the friction force of an electron cooler in a heavy ion storage ring, which uses the counterforce provided by specially designed bunch potentials. Applying this method the friction force at small relative velocities between the electron and the ion beam has been determined with a 7.3 MeV beam of 9Be+ ions at the Heidelberg Test Storage Ring. The results are compared to a measurement performed with an alternative counterforce method using an induction accelerator.

Can Heavy Ion Storage Rings Contribute to Our Understanding of the Charge State Distributions in Cosmic Atomic Plasmas?
Interpreting cosmic spectra from ionized atomic gas hinges on our understanding the underlying physical processes which produce the observed spectra. Of particular importance are electron-ion recombination and electron impact ionization. These processes control the charge state distribution (CSD) of the gas. The CSD is intimately tied in to the observed spectral features and can also affect the...

Dielectronic recombination (DR) of few-electron ions has evolved into a sensitive spectroscopic tool for highly charged ions. This is due to technological advances in electron-beam preparation and ion-beam cooling techniques at heavy-ion storage rings. Recent experiments prove unambiguously that DR collision spectroscopy has become sensitive to 2nd order QED and to nuclear effects. This review ...
