Selective Resonant Extraction From The Fermilab Main Injector Using Electron Lens

Selective Resonant Extraction from the Fermilab Main Injector Using Electron Lens

We propose to use an electron lens for slow extraction of proton bunches from the Fermilab Main Injector. Negatively charged electron beam colliding with protons causes positive tune shift proportional to the electron current. If the resulting tune satisfies resonance condition, protons move to larger betatron amplitudes as in conventional slow extraction systems. Time variation of the electron current allows slow extraction from particular batches or even slow extraction from a single bunch.

Electron Lenses for Super-Colliders

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the operating principles and technology of electron lenses in supercolliders. Electron lenses are a novel instrument for high energy particle accelerators, particularly for the energy-frontier superconducting hadron colliders, including the Tevatron, RHIC, LHC and future very large hadron colliders. After reviewing the issues surrounding beam dynamics in supercolliders, the book offers an introduction to the electron lens method and its application. Further chapters describe the technology behind the electron lenses which have recently been proposed, built and employed for compensation of beam-beam effects and for collimation of high-energy high-intensity beams, for compensation of space-charge effects and several other applications in accelerators. The book will be an invaluable resource for those involved in the design, construction and operation of the next generation of hadron colliders.
