Electron cooling for light‐ion beams

MAR 01, 1982

DOI: 10.1063/1.2914963

The nuclear physicists at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility are proposing to enhance considerably the capabilities of this light‐ion cyclotron by appending to it an electron‐cooling storage ring. Electron cooling has been developed over the last decade at Novosibirsk, CERN and Fermilab primarily as a technique for “cooling” antiproton beams—reducing their spread in transverse and longitudinal momentum—for high‐energy physics experiments (PHYSICS TODAY, August 1980, page 44). The IUCF would be the first attempt to exploit beam cooling for nuclear‐physics ion beams.
