Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 10, 061001 (2007) [6 pages]Bunched beam stochastic cooling in a collider
Bunched beam stochastic cooling in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at 100 GeV has been achieved. The longitudinal cooling system is designed for heavy ion operation but was tested using protons. A very low intensity bunch with ∼109 protons was prepared so that cooling times and voltage requirements would be comparable to the heavy ion case. With this bunch a cooling time of the order of an hour was observed through shortening of the bunch length and narrowing of the Schottky lines.
