We report on an experimental demonstration of electron cooling high-energy antiprotons circulating in a storage ring. In our experiments, cooling, well-established method at low energies ($<500\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/\mathrm{\text{nucleon}}$), was carried out new region beam parameters, requiring multi-MeV dc and unusual transport line. this Letter, we present the results longitudinal force measurements compare them with theoretical predictions.
Focusing of a 15 MeV electron bunch by plasma lens operated at the threshold underdense regime has been demonstrated. The strong, 1.7 cm focal length, focused both transverse directions simultaneously and reduced minimum area beam spot factor 23. It is shown through analytic analysis simulation that observed spherical aberration this lens, when expressed as fractional departure focusing strength from its linear expectation, ΔK/K=0.08±0.04. This significantly lower than theoretical value for...
A magnetron-driven microtron injector has been developed for a terahertz free electron laser (FEL). An internal injection system was chosen the to achieve compact and inexpensive design. The provides acceleration of electrons with low emittance energy spread that is highly important FEL. However, intrapulse instabilities accelerated current bunch repetition rate inherent make problems FEL operation. Simulations beam dynamics transient process allow one compute load characteristic...
CW magnetrons, initially developed for industrial RF heaters, were suggested to power cavities of superconducting accelerators due their higher efficiency and lower cost than traditionally used klystrons, IOTs or solid-state amplifiers. amplifiers driven by a master oscillator serve as coherent sources. magnetrons are regenerative generators with huge gain. This causes instability large noise when magnetron operates the anode voltage above threshold self-excitation. Traditionally...

A terahertz free electron laser (FEL) driven by a high-current classical S-band 12-orbit microtron with internal injection and magnetron-based radio frequency system has been developed. The laboratory-size, inexpensive facility is widely tunable in the range. This makes it attractive for application research laboratories universities. Stability reliability operation of such microtron-based FEL determined generally system. Operation employing thermionic cathode analyzed. analysis was...
A model of the CW high-power transmitter, utilizing frequency-locked magnetrons with a phase control studied initially as prototype controllable in and power an RF source for intensity-frontier superconducting linacs, was considered telecommunication magnetron source, acceptable wideband phase-amplitude modulation at precisely stable carrier frequency. The R&D conducted CW, 2.45 GHz, 1 kW, microwave oven demonstrated that frequency locking by phase-modulated signal provides amplitude...
