CeC Simulation Meeting

Meeting Goals

The CeC simulation meeting is focused on developing simulation as well as analytical tools to advance understandings of coherent electron cooling (CeC).

Meeting Agenda

• 09/14/2017:
  • Kicker simulations (Kicker is treated as a drift section, i.e. no quads. The beam size does no grow linearly and the emittance grows significantly, indicating some problems with the codes.), by Jun Ma;
• 09/07/2017:
  • CeC simulations (Modulator and FEL simulation with reduced beam current, 40A->31A. The gain at ion is ~140. The optimal lattice functions at undulator are found with space charge effects taken into account.), by Jun Ma;
• 08/31/2017:
  • CeC simulations (Modulator and FEL simulation with not-so-matched beam at undulator entrance, beta functions are a factor of two larger. The intention is to see to what extent the beam has to be matched. Current is too large and FEL saturated), by Jun Ma;
• 08/17/2017:
  • Quadrupoles (Attempts to optimize quadrupoles in modulator so that beam is matched to FEL. The target lattice function does not take into account space charge effects along undulator), by Jun Ma;
• 07/20/2017:
  • Modulator simulation(New energy with gamma=28.7, not matched to FEL due to space charge effects), by Jun Ma;
• 04/06/2017:
  • Start-to-end CeC simulation (using smoothed parameters from raw particle distribution, beam not matched to FEL, see beam variation in wiggler from below plot), by Jun Ma;
  • Transverse beam size variation along undulator for the simulation results shown in above slides, by Jun Ma;
• 03/16/2017:
