Operational aspects of electron cooling at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR)

  • 1. PS Division, CERN, Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

The electron cooling device installed on the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN has shown that electron cooling can be used as an effective method of phase space compression of a stored ion beam. The experiments performed with a variety of particles over the past three years have enabled us to modify the cooler and the LEAR environment in order to use the apparatus on the different machine flat tops at momenta below 308.6 MeV/c. This paper describes the major modifications made to the LEAR electron cooler for its reliable and effective use in every day operations. The transverse feedback system used to counteract the coherent instabilities observed with the dense beams obtained with electron cooling are also discussed
