Micro-aligned 1 Tesla solenoid for high-energy bunched-beam electron cooling
SBC: Accelerator Technology Corporation Topic: 29dThe JLab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) is proposed to collider spin-polarized beams of electrons and ions at high energy and high luminosity- Sustaining high luminosity requires the use of bunched-beam electron cooling to control emittance growth in the circulating ion beam- The electron cooling requires that a bunched electron beam be coalesced with the ion bunches so that they travel with the sa ...
