Bunched beam stochastic cooling in the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

Abstract

In order to double the integrated luminosity of the Tevatron collider in the next running period, a 4-8 GHz bunched beam betatron stochastic cooling system has been designed. The horizontal and vertical emittances of the protons and antiprotons will be cooled to counteract the effects of power supply noise, beam-beam interaction, and intrabeam scattering. A vertical proton prototype system has been installed in the Tevatron and tested. In addition, measurement results and details of the hardware are reviewed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
