Abstract

The IUCF (Indiana University Cyclotron Facility) 270-keV electron cooling system has demonstrated collection efficiencies of 100% (+0/-2 p.p.m.) operating with a 2-A electron beam (0.4 A/cm²). In addition, a very complete set of longitudinal drag rate measurements have been completed. These measurements span rest frame electron-proton velocity differences of over three orders of magnitude and include the region where the average longitudinal electron-proton velocity difference is less than the electron beam longitudinal velocity spread (a region which has not previously been measured). No obvious Schottky signal suppression (evidence of beam crystallization) has been observed for low-intensity cooled proton beams, though many interesting collective phenomena have been observed for high-intensity cooled proton beams
