Description
The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) is part of CERN’s antimatter factory which decelerates antiprotons from a momentum of 3.57 GeV/c to 100 MeV/c. Stochastic cooling is essential to reduce longitudinal and transverse emittances at the momentum plateaus in first part of the cycle. The present hardware of the stochastic cooling system is optimized for a momentum of 3.57 GeV/c while it has reduced performance at 2.0 GeV/c. This work reports on recent performance improvements of the stochastic cooling system which have contributed to the record intensity of 6.3×107 antiprotons decelerated and extracted from the AD. Possible future consolidation of the system with new kicker and pick-up structures, better adapted to the operation at both momenta, is outlined.
