The envisioned Electron Ion Collider will be comprised of a chain of accelerators, each employing electron cooling. Depending on the purpose, each accelerator will employ some form of electron cooling: conventional DC type, Energy Recovering Linac-based recirculator, or coherent electron cooling. Each electron cooling type has its own peculiarities that need to be studied, understood, and their performance optimized to maximize luminosity; these are the subjects of this project. In particular, we developed the first microscopic electron cooling modeling and simulation framework that was also benchmarked against experiment. We proved for the first time the feasibility of first principle, accurate and efficient electron cooling simulations with a minimal number of assumptions and approximations that match empirical studies.
