Fermilab Electron Cooling Project: Commissioning of the 5 Mev Recirculation Test Set-up
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 experimental results.

Fermilab Electron Cooling Project: Engineering Aspects of Cooling Section
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 eng...
متن کاملStatus 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 کاملLaboratory Technology Development of the Technology for Intermediate Energy Electron Cooling
Low energy (5300 keV) electron cooling is a well-developed technology. In the past 5 years, 8 systems have been commissioned in the U.S. (I), Europe (6)) and Japan (1). We believe that intermediate-energy electron cooling, in the electron energy range of 110 MeV for cooling 2-20 GeV/nucleon ion beams, would be exploited on a similar scale if the technology were available. Above electron energie...
متن کاملPerformance of the Accelerator Driver of Jefferson
The driver for Jefferson Lab's kW-level infrared free-electron laser (FEL) is a superconducting, recirculating accelerator that recovers about 75% of the electron-beam power and converts it to radiofrequency power. In achieving first lasing, the accelerator operated "straight-ahead" to deliver 38 MeV, 1.1 mA cw current through the wiggler for lasing at wavelengths in the vicinity of 5 μm. Just ...

Samples from two type of polyethylene, with low and high density, had been subjected to three different initial processing. The samples were heated to 170 oC and then cooled by different cooling rating in air, in mold (10 oC/min cooling rate) and in 0.0 oC water. Following this step, each sample irradiated by 10 MeV electron beam. The gel content of the samples, which is a measure of interchain...
