Status of high energy electron cooling in FNAL's Recycler Ring

Conference ·
OSTI ID:897043

Electron cooling of 8 GeV antiprotons at Fermilab's Recycler storage ring is now routinely used in the collider operation. It requires a 0.1-0.5 A, 4.3 MeV DC electron beam to increase the longitudinal phase-space density of the circulating antiproton beam. This paper discusses the latest status of the electron cooler and its mode of operation within the context of Fermilab's accelerator complex. In addition, we will show preliminary results that demonstrate electron cooling of the transverse phase-space of the antiproton beam.
