TL;DR
This study demonstrates that Fermilab Electron Cooler’s beam generation system can reliably operate at 1.6 MeV for low-energy RHIC runs, showing improved stability over higher energy operation.
Contribution
It provides evidence that the Fermilab Electron Cooler system is suitable for low-energy RHIC applications, with enhanced operational stability at 1.6 MeV.
Findings
No unprovoked beam recirculation interruptions at 1.6 MeV
System suitable for BNL low-energy needs
Stable operation compared to 4.3 MeV runs
Abstract
As a part of a feasibility study of using the Fermilab Electron Cooler for a low-energy Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) run at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), the cooler operation at 1.6 MeV electron beam energy was tested in a short beam line configuration. The main result of the study is that the cooler beam generation system is suitable for BNL needs. In a striking difference with running 4.3 MeV beam, no unprovoked beam recirculation interruptions were observed.
