Accelerator complex of ion and electron storage rings

An accelerator complex consisting of storage rings of ions and electrons with their booster synchrotron of combined-function type is proposed as one of the candidates of the facility for the new campus of Kyoto University. Maximum energies for ions and electrons are 290 and 1500 MeV, respectively. Aimed beam intensities are 1010 and 4×1011 per pulse for ions and electrons, respectively. With use of this accelerator complex, merging of highly ionized ions and trial of laser beam cooling to ultimate low temperature might be possible. The possibility of laser cooling with use of free electron laser is also to be studied.
