Injection and stability of high-intensity ion beams in synchrotrons with electron cooling

摘要

The electron cooling-stacking injection is one of the most widely used injection methods applied in forming high-intensity cooled ion beams in the synchrotrons. The maximum available ion intensity in the synchrotron is determined by the lifetime of ions and the cooling-stacking efficiency. The formation of cooled high-intensity beams is constrained by instability, leading to a strong reduction in the ion lifetime. The results of experimental investigations and simulations of the cooling-stacking injection and stability of high-intensity cooled ion beams in synchrotrons with electron cooling are discussed.
