Coherent electron cooling: Status of single-pass simulations

Advances in nuclear physics depend on experiments that employ hadron accelerators with dramatically increased luminosity. Stochastic cooling is currently used to increase hadron beam luminosity, but this approach faces serious difficulties at the high intensities and high energies proposed for high-energy election-ion colliders. The novel concept of coherent electron cooling (CeC) promises to cool hadron beams at a much faster rate. Simulations of a single pass through a CeC system are key to its experimental demonstration. Here we validate the primary components of these simulations.
