Abstract

As part of a luminosity upgrade it is planned to add an electron cooling section to the RHIC accelerator. Existing electron coolers operate at low beam energies and use a continuous electron stream. The ion energy of 100 GeV/u in RHIC requires an electron energy of 55 MeV. Therefore the RHIC cooler uses a linac with energy recovery for the electron acceleration. Short bunches exiting the linac section are stretched longitudinally to reduce the momentum spread and space charge effects in the cooling section, and compressed afterwards for deceleration and energy recovery in the linac. This report describes the design of the electron beam transport and simulation results.
