Fermilab Electron Cooling Project: Engineering Aspects of Cooling Section
نویسنده
چکیده
The Fermilab Electron Cooling project involves interacting a 4.3 MeV, 0.5 A DC electron beam with 8.9 GeV/c antiprotons in the FNAL Recycler Ring. This interaction occurs through a 20-meter long cooling section consisting of 10 solenoid modules. This cooling process would lead to an increase in the Tevatron collider luminosity needed to support RunIIb parameters. There are several important engineering aspects of this cooling section including: solenoid design, vacuum system design, magnetic shielding, support system, and alignment methods. Details of the engineering issues related to each of these areas will be discussed.

Status of the Fermilab Electron Cooling Project
The first stage of the Fermilab Electron Cooling R&D program is now complete: technology necessary to generate hundreds of milliamps of electron beam current at MeV energies has been demonstrated. Conceptual design studies show that with an electron beam current of 200 mA and with a cooling section of 20 m electron cooling in the Fermilab Recycler ring can provide antiproton stacking rates suit...
متن کاملFermilab Electron Cooling Project: Field Measurements in the Cooling Section Solenoid
To provide the maximum possible cooling rate for the Recycler Electron Cooling (REC) [1], the cooling section has to be immersed into a high-quality longitudinal magnetic field. Namely, the solenoidal field of 50150 G should have an integral of the transverse component below 1 G⋅cm over the whole 20-m cooling section [2]. The transverse field components are measured by a dedicated compassbased ...

Steel pipes with circular cross-sections are usually used in cooling panels of electric arc furnaces. In the present study pipes with square cross-sections under equivalent conditions were used to obtain more information on the possibility of increasing the heat transfer and cooling efficiency. The results showed increased efficiency of the square pipe compared to the circular cross-section pip...
متن کاملFermilab Electron Cooling Project: Commissioning of the 5 Mev Recirculation Test Set-up
An important part of the Fermilab’s Recycler Electron Cooling (REC) project [1] is a recirculation test which is performed using a 5-MV electrostatic accelerator, a Pelletron, with two tubes and a simplified beam line with one 180-degree bend. The main goal of the test is to demonstrate stable operation of a 4.4-MeV, 0.5-A DC electron beam. The paper describes the set-up and the early experimen...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation into the Hydrodynamics Effects of Slot Film Cooling on a Cylindrical Model
An experimental study of hydrodynamics of film cooling is performed by using a single longitudinal slot on a cylindrical model simulated to the leading edge of the gas turbine blade. The model is set up into the test section of an open-circuit induced flow wind tunnel which provides the main flow. The injected air, as a secondary film flow, produced from a high pressure compressor is considered...
