Dual-energy electron storage ring

A dual-energy electron storage ring is a novel concept initially proposed to cool hadron beams at high energies. The design consists of two closed rings operating at significantly different energies: the low-energy ring and the high-energy ring. These two rings are connected by an energy recovery linac (ERL) that provides the necessary energy difference. The ERL features superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities that first accelerate the beam from the low energy E L to the high energy E H and then decelerate the beam from E H to E L in the next pass. The different SRF cavities in the ERL section can be adjusted based on the applications. In this paper, we present a possible layout of a dual-energy electron storage ring. The preliminary optics of the ring is designed to optimize chromaticity correction, dynamic aperture, momentum aperture, beam lifetime, radiation damping, and intrabeam scattering effects. The primary focus of this paper is on the stability conditions and beam dynamics studies associated with this storage ring. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Measuring the Electric Dipole Moment of the Electron in a Two-Energy Spin-Transparent Storage Ring

We will present a new design of a two-energy storage ring for low energy (0.2 to 2 MeV) polarized electron bunches [1]. The new design is based on the transparent spin methodology that cancels the spin precession due to the magnetic dipole moment at any energy while allowing for spin precession induced by the fundamental physics of interest to accumulate. The buildup of the vertical component of beam polarization can be measured using standard Mott polarimetry that is optimal at low electron energy. These rings can be used to measure the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron, relevant to CP violation and matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, and to search for dark energy and ultra-light dark matter.

COOLING PERFORMANCE IN A DUAL ENERGY STORAGE RING COOLER*

The lon­gi­tu­di­nal and trans­verse emit­tance growth in hadron beams due to in­tra-beam scat­ter­ing (IBS) and other heat­ing sources de­te­ri­o­rate the lu­mi­nos­ity in a col­lider. Hence, a strong hadron beam cool­ing is re­quired to re­duce and pre­serve the emit­tance. The cool­ing of high en­ergy hadron beam is chal­leng­ing. We pro­pose a dual en­ergy stor­age ring-based elec­tron cooler that uses an elec­tron beam to ex­tract heat away from hadron beam in the cooler ring while the elec­tron beam is cooled by syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion damp­ing in the high en­ergy damp­ing ring. In this paper, we pre­sent a de­sign of a dual en­ergy stor­age ring-based elec­tron cooler. Fi­nally, the cool­ing per­for­mance is sim­u­lated using Jef­fer­son Lab Sim­u­la­tion Pack­age for Elec­tron Cool­ing (JSPEC) for pro­ton beams at the top en­ergy of 275 GeV for Elec­tron-Ion Col­lider.

Plasma Lens in Parametric Resonance Ionization Cooling

We present a concept of a plasma lens in a parametric resonance ionization cooling (PIC) for extra cooling of muon colliders. The PIC concept has been developed to overcome most aberrations. However, parasitic non-linear aberrations which is induced in an ionization cooling material still reduce a dynamic aperture of the PIC. The plasma lens generates an azimuthally symmetric focusing field in gas-filled RF cavities that is several orders of magnitude stronger than the conventional superconducting magnets. It allows for reduction of the beam size at the beam expansion points. This reduces the size of the aberrations and therefore greatly simplifies their compensation.

Estimates of Damped Energy Spread and Emittance in a Two Energy Storage Ring Cooler

In this paper we provide estimates of the damped energy spread and emittance in a two-energy storage ring cooler. Two energy storage rings have two loops at markedly different energies, one at low energy and the other at high energy. In a cooling application the low energy ring has a cooling section to cool the ion beam and the high energy ring may have a wiggler section to enhance the damping effect on electron beam. The linear optics in the cooling section is designed to attain the maximum cooling of ion beams. Similarly, the linear optics in the wiggler section is designed to attained the required equilibrium emittance and energy spread. Hence, the radiation events in these two rings are different and independent. Since the values of damped energy spread and emittance depend on a range of parameters related to lattice design and rings energies, we present analytical calculations along with simulation results to estimate the values of damped energy spread and emittance in a two energy storage ring cooler.

Beam Dynamics Study in a Dual Energy Storage Ring for Ion Beam Cooling

A dual energy storage ring designed for beam cooling consists of two closed rings with significantly different energies: the cooling and damping rings. These two rings are connected by an energy recovering superconducting RF structure that provides the necessary energy difference. In our design, the RF acceleration has a main linac and harmonic cavities both running at crest that at first accelerates the beam from low energy E_{L} to high energy E_{H} and then decelerates the beam from E_{H} to E_{L} in the next pass. The purpose of the harmonic cavities is to extend the bunch length in a dual energy storage ring as such a longer bunch length may be very useful in a cooling application. Besides these cavities, a bunching cavity running on zero-crossing phase is used outside of the common beamline to provide the necessary longitudinal focusing for the system. In this paper, we present a preliminary lattice design along with the fundamental beam dynamics study in such a dual energy storage ring.

Spin response function technique in spin-transparent synchrotrons

Small perturbative fields in a synchrotron influence both the spin and orbital motion of a stored beam. Their effect on the beam polarization consists of two contributions, a direct kick and an effect of the ring lattice due to orbit perturbation. Spin response function is an analytic technique to account for both contributions. We develop such a technique for the spin-transparent synchrotrons where the design spin motion is degenerate. Several perspective applications are illustrated or discussed. In particular, we consider the questions of the influence of lattice imperfections on the spin dynamics and spin manipulation during an experiment. The presented results are of a direct relevance to NICA (JINR), RHIC (BNL), EIC (BNL) and other existing and future colliders when they arranged with polarization control in the spin-transparent mode.

4-twist helix snake to maintain polarization in multi-GeV proton rings

Solenoid Siberian snakes have successfully maintained polarization in particle rings below 1 GeV, but never in multi-GeV rings, because the spin rotation by a solenoid is inversely proportional to the beam momentum. High energy rings, such as Brookhaven’s 255 GeV Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), use only odd multiples of pairs of transverse B-field Siberian snakes directly opposite each other. When it became impractical to use a pair of Siberian Snakes in Fermilab’s 120 GeV/c Main Injector, we searched for a new type of single Siberian snake that could overcome all depolarizing resonances in the 8.9–120 GeV/c range. We found that a snake made of one 4-twist helix and 2 dipoles could maintain the polarization. Here, this snake design could solve the long-standing problem of significant polarization loss during acceleration of polarized protons from a few GeV to tens of GeV, such as in the AGS, before injecting them into multi-hundred GeV rings, such as RHIC.
