Production and Testing of Elements of the High-Voltage Electron-Cooling System for the NICA Collider
摘要
Abstract
Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences) continues to create a high-voltage electron cooling system for the NICA collider, which is necessary to achieve the design luminosity of the complex in ion–ion collisions. The system consists of two independent coolers with an electron energy of up to 2.5 MeV with current of up to 1 A, which simultaneously cool two colliding ion beams. The article describes the status of the system and the results of testing of its elements.
