Coherent Electron Cooling

Coherent Electron Cooling is an exciting concept towards cooling ion beams through amplification of charge distributions in electron beams. This method promises extremely fast cooling virtually independent of energy of the ions. Recently, the performance of ERLs allows the use of the FEL amplification mechanism to realize Coherent Electron Cooling at high ion energies.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
