Microbunched electron Cooling (MBEC), a type of Coherent electron Cooling (CeC), is a possible way to cool high energy protons; such an electron cooler can be driven by an energy recovery linac (ERL). The beam parameters of this design are based on cooling 275 and 100 GeV protons at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), requiring 150 and 55 MeV electrons, respectively. If implemented, a high energy...
The Ring Electron Cooler (REC) is an option to provide beam cooling for the EIC at high energies. Based on a storage ring this machine can provide the beam current necessary for cooling at higher energies. While the electrons cool the ions the radiation cooling of the electrons is enhanced using strong wiggler magnets. The ring has a race track shape where one 176 meter long straight...
A Low-energy Electron Cooler (LEC) system is presently under design at Brookhaven National Laboratory to cool protons at the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) injection energy. The accelerator for the LEC must provide a high current high-quality electron beam at kinetic energy of 12.5 MeV to the cooling section. In current accelerator design we use DC photo-gun followed by a set of RF cavities to...
