Laser Cooling of Intense Ultra-Relativistic Ion Beams — •Lewin Eidam1 and Oliver Boine-Frankenheim1,2 — 1TEMF, TU-Darmstadt, Germany — 2gsi helmholtzzentrum für schwerionenforschung, Germany
The principle of Doppler laser cooling was verified in low energy storage rings. Within the FAIR project laser cooling should be applied to ultra-relativistic heavy ion beams. The cooling process leads to a compression of the longitudinal phase space and to non-Gaussian beam profiles. In order to ensure stable operation and optimize the cooling process, the interplay of the cooling force and intensity effects has to be studied numerically. The modeling of the laser particle interaction is discussed. The different cooling schemes with cw and pulsed laser system are described and intensity limiting processes are explained.
