The concept of microbunched electron cooling (MBEC, introduced in Ref. [1]) is currently under investigation as a candidate for the strong hadron cooling (SHC) component of EIC. Most of the theoretical treatments of this scheme are based on a simplified model for the longitudinal space charge [2–4]. In this model, the particle beams are treated as collections of thin charged disks, with the interaction function for two such disks being calculated by averaging the forces between constituent point charges. Although the disk model is flexible and captures a large part of the underlying physics, it lacks the fidelity and robustness of an analysis that explicitly treats the beams as collections of point charges. In what follows, we explore such a model, both from a theory-based and a simulation perspective.
