“…To overcome the beam loss and emittance growth from intrabeam scattering, three-dimensional bunched beam stochastic cooling [67] was implemented, the first operational cooling in a hadron collider. Figure 17 gives an overview of locations of the longitudinal and transverse pick-ups and kickers.…”

High-energy ion colliders are large research tools in nuclear physics to study the QuarkGluon-Plasma (QGP). The range of collision energy and high luminosity are important design and operational considerations. The experiments also expect flexibility with frequent changes in the collision energy, detector fields, and ion species. Ion species range from protons, including polarized protons in RHIC, to heavy nuclei like gold, lead and uranium. Asymmetric collision combinations (e.g. protons against heavy ions) are also essential. For the creation, acceleration, and storage of bright intense ion beams, limits are set by space charge, charge change, and intrabeam scattering effects, as well as beam losses due to a variety of other phenomena. Currently, there are two operating ion colliders, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

“…For this reason various cooling techniques have been proposed for hadron colliders. The only effective cooling method so far successfully implemented for colliding high-energy hadron bunches is the 3-D stochastic cooling of heavy-ion beams at RHIC [110,111]. Figure 29 compares the luminosity evolution during a RHIC store for various configurations of the stochastic cooling.…”

“…The RHIC collider has demonstrated the effectiveness of a bunched-beam stochastic cooling system against IBS [29] and a first study [30] has shown the potential of a similar installation to cool heavy ion beams in the LHC. In the HL-LHC, the benefits of the cooling lie in the reduction of colliding beam sizes at later stages of the fill.…”

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The heavy-ion physics programme of the LHC will continue during the HL-LHC period with upgraded detectors capable of exploiting several times the design luminosity for nucleus-nucleus (Pb-Pb) collisions. For proton-nucleus (p-Pb) collisions, unforeseen in the original design of the LHC, a comparable increase beyond the 2013 luminosity should be attainable. We present performance projections and describe the operational strategies and relatively modest upgrades to the collider hardware that will be needed to achieve these very significant extensions to the physics potential of the High Luminosity LHC.
