EicC束流冷却方案设计与模拟

Design and Simulation of EicC Beam Cooling Scheme

  • 摘要: 对核子内部结构的研究是当前理论和实验研究的重要前沿,高能散射实验是探索核子结构的理想工具。中国科学院近代物理研究所计划在已开建的强流重离子加速器项目(HIAF)的基础上,升级建造中国极化电子离子对撞机(EicC)。EicC将提供质心系能量为15 \sim 20 GeV的电子和质子双极化束流,对撞亮度设计指标为2\times10^33~\rmcm^-2\rms^-1,离子束的有效冷却是EicC实现亮度目标的关键。针对离子束流初始发射度大、能量高、流强强的特点,EicC采用两级束流冷却方案,首先在增强器(BRing)中利用常规直流电子冷却器降低离子束流发射度,其次在对撞环(pRing)中采用基于能量回收型直线加速器(ERL)的高能束团冷却系统,抑制对撞过程中的离子束发射度增长。以质子束为例,模拟研究了EicC束流冷却装置中电子束的尺寸、温度、冷却段的磁场和束流光学参数对冷却速率和冷却过程的影响,最终得到了满足亮度要求的束流冷却参数。

     

    Abstract: The study of the internal structure of nucleons is an important frontier of current theoretical and experimental research. The high-energy scattering experiments are ideal tools for exploring the structure of nucleons. A Polarized Electron Ion Collider(EicC) is proposed based on High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility(HIAF) by Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. EicC will provide polarized electron and proton beams with a center-of-mass energy of 15 \sim 20 GeV. The luminosity is up to 2\times10^33\ \rmcm^-2\rms^-1. Effective cooling of the ion beams is needed to achieve the luminosity goal. Due to the characteristics of large initial emittance, high energy and high intensity of ion beam, EicC adopts a two-stage beam cooling scheme. First, a conventional DC electron cooler is used to significantly reduce the ion beam emittance in the Booster ring(BRing). Secondly, a high-energy bunched cooling system based on an energy recovery linear(ERL) is used to suppress the emittance growth of ion beam during the collision in the collider ring(pRing). In this paper, taking the proton beam as an example, the effects of the electron beam size, temperature, magnetic field and lattice function on the cooling rate and cooling process in the EicC beam cooling device are simulated and investigated, and finally the beam cooling parameters that meet the luminosity requirements are obtained.
