چکیده
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 suitable for the Tevatron upgrades beyond Run II luminosity goals. A prototype of such an electron cooling system is now being built at Fermilab as part of the continuing R&D program. This paper describes the electron cooling system design as well as the status of the Fermilab electron cooling R&D program.

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 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 ...

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 کاملTransverse Digital Damper System for the Fermilab Anti-Proton Recycler
A transverse damping system is used in the Recycler at Fermilab to damp beam instabilities which arise from large beam intensities with electron cooling. Initial tests of electron cooling demonstrated beam loss due to transverse beam motion when the beam was cooled past the beam density threshold. The transverse damper system consists of two horizontal and two vertical pickups whose signals are...
متن کاملA Trio of Modulators for the Fermilab Tevatron Electron Lens Project
Three high voltage modulators used during testing and operation of the Tevatron Electron Lens (TEL) at Fermilab will be described. Short high voltage (0 to ~20kV) pulses from these modulators vary the anode-cathode voltage of the TEL electron gun to control the magnitude of the electron beam current. The trio of modulators include a low repetition rate MOSFET-based pulser, a fast ionization dev...
