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

• 10/20/2017:
  • Kicker simulations (Peak current is increased to 25 A and gain at ion is 60. Cooling kick is traced for three ions with reference energy and 0.1% off. The ions with 0.1% energy errors are arbitrarily put into the wave-packet, not according to R56), by Jun Ma;
  • Dipole simulations, by Jun Ma;
• 09/29/2017:
  • Kicker simulations (The problem with growing emittance is resolved. The peak current is also reduced to 23 A (gain is 40 at ion). Kick to ion is calculated. Substantial phase slip of ion w.r.t. wave-packets inside kicker is found.), by Jun Ma;
  • Orbit control tool, by Jun Ma;
• 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:
  • Start-to-end CeC simulation (using direct parameters from raw particle distribution via beam dynamics simulation, not much lasing observed), by Jun Ma;

  • Physics Applications in Matlab, by Igor Pinayev;
  • Updates on Multipacting Simulations, by Irina Petrushina;
