Description

Electron and laser cooling are key techniques for improving
the quality of stored beams in synchrotrons. This contribution
summarises the main advancements in electron
and laser cooling simulations and measurements at CERN,
with emphasis on benchmarked Xsuite models and on their
application to present and future facilities. On the electron–
cooling side, we present the implementation and validation
of the Parkhomchuk model in Xsuite and its application to
LEIR, ELENA, and to the design of the new AD electron
cooler. On the laser–cooling side, we discuss simulations for
the Gamma Factory proof–of–principle experiment in the
SPS. The interplay between cooling and intrabeam scattering
(IBS) is addressed, and we outline operational scenarios
and open questions.
