Title: Issues concerning high current lower energy electron beams required for ion cooling between EBIS LINAC and booster

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/957470· OSTI ID:957470

Some issues, regarding a low energy high current electron beam that will be needed for electron beam cooling to reduce momentum of gold ions exiting the EBIS LINAC before injection into the booster, are examined. Options for propagating such an electron beam, as well as the effect of neutralizing background plasma on electron and ion beam parameters are calculated. Computations and some experimental data indicate that none of these issues is a show stopper.
