Solid to Hollow Beam Formation in Simulation and Experiments

• Reduction of transversal instability of cooled ion beam. It may be achieved by using the electron beam with the density increasing radially but low at the center.

• Problems arisen due to space charge effect may be partially solved by using the hollow electron beam with low transversal electric field near its center.

• Reduction of the effect of recombination between the accumulated ions and the electron beam.

• Suppress the electron heating effect in the center

Capacitive Beam Pickup Principles and Sensitivity to Beam Current

Our bunched beam electron cooling experiment is at the range of 0.121~0.247. So either type of the pickup is OK for the BCM

For RCs <<1, fm<<fc, R is preferred in low resistance for high roll-off frequency fc.

Too weak!We need to modify the external circuit of BPM to be a resonant circuit in order to improve the bunch edge sensitivity and S/N ratio.

MEIC Collaboration Meeting (October 5-7, 2015)

Modification Suggestion to Existing BPM External Circuits to BCM

• Can tune harmonic of the ion accelerating frequency f0 and electron modulation frequency fm separately on different BPMs if not synchronized

• Detune due to the resistive loss is small and the inductance can be compensated by a tunable inductor element.

• Bunch beam charging time t >> the resonance RLC circuit (or cavity) filling time Q/r. Say 2 times at least. So the induced voltage V(t) will not drop between the bunches 1/f0-t.

• Data sampling rate fs has to be fast enough to resolve the bunch rise time scale of ~10ns.

1D Signal Calculation for Square Bunch and Ring-shape Pickup

Electron (red solid line) and ion (green solid line) bunch signals picked up by modified capacitive type BCM plates and their bunch shapes (dashed red line for electron, dashed green line for ion) calculated by MathCAD program for =0.121, average beam currents of 70mA for electron and 3mA for 12C+6. The voltage signal is picked up on the total shunt resistor of R=150. The voltage signal gain on the ion current is 40dB (80dB in power) for this display. In this calculation example, there are 7 electron bunches with in one ion bunch.

1D Signal Calculation for Gaussian Bunch and Ring-shape Pickup

Gaussian bunch shape distribution (black) in 7ns (rms) bunch length current picked up by 50 shunt impedance’s voltage (red, calculation) and comparison to the experimental data (blue) for one of 12C+6 bunches accelerated in the CSRm ring at the 0.5 velocity. The blue data is measured by a fast oscilloscope on a Ls=15cm pickup cylinder. The voltage gain of such signal is ~350. The ion current is ~3A. Signal ringing on the back is due to the pickup circuit.

Summary

• Bunched electron Beam Cooling Demo Experiment at IMP has been proposed in 2014 at JLab and carried out by the collaboration team at 2015 with JLab LDRD fund and IMP internal fund.

• HV power supplies and RF amplifier hardware are under commissioning for the electron beam modulation scheme

• Demo experiment is scheduled in 2016• Modification of IMP CSRm BPM system into a BCM measurement device to

measure the beam bunch length and peak current is possible for our demo bunched electron cooling experiment

• Using existing EC-35 BPM system, a minor circuit modification (or using sum/diff. combined signals) using a resonant circuit is possible for the electron bunch length and shape measurement

• Modification to resonant Schottky, using Palmer pickup devices (in CSRs ring only), extraction kicker in CSRe ring (under the study) for the ion beam bunch length and current measurement will greatly increase the S/N ratio. The new BCM circuit design parameters have been specified.

• EC-35 Cooler and CSRm ring can do all of these schemes for the demo experiment: DC to coasting, bunch to coasting and bunch to bunch, synchronization and non-sychronization
