S. Nagaitsev et al., ELECTRON COOLING OF BUNCHED BEAMS IN THE IUCF COOLER - INTENSITY RELATED EFFECTS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 391(1), 1997, pp. 32-36
Electron cooled bunched proton beams in the IUCF cooler are nearly com
pletely space charge dominated longitudinally, meaning that the longit
udinal charge density of the bunch is, to first order, determined by t
he balance between the;internal force of the electrostatic repulsion b
etween particles and the external force of the applied radio frequency
focusing field. This leads to a number of phenomena, which have not b
een observed before. In addition, the installation of a transverse bea
m profile monitor in the IUCF cooler allowed us to investigate various
proton beam properties, such as space-charge tune shift, correlation
between transverse and longitudinal beam profiles and transverse cooli
ng rates as a function of beam current and energy.
