Abstract

Next generation electron cooling systems require a multi-MeV, 2 A DC electron beam source. Such electron cooling systems can reduce the emittances of proton and heavy ion beams leading to corresponding increases in luminosity. The technology needed to produce the necessary DC electron beams is being developed by the MEBEC group and tested at the National Electrostatics Corporation (NEC). This paper will outline the design considerations behind the system, improvements made over previous systems and the current status of the project
