Stochastic cooling

Stochastic cooling is a form of particle beam cooling. It is used in some particle accelerators and storage rings to control the emittance of the particle beams in the machine. This process uses the electrical signals that the individual charged particles generate in a feedback loop to reduce the tendency of individual particles to move away from the other particles in the beam. It is accurate to think of this as adiabatic cooling, or the reduction of entropy, in much the same way that a refrigerator or an air conditioner cools its contents.
The technique was invented and applied at the Intersecting Storage Rings, and later the Super Proton Synchrotron, at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland by Simon van der Meer,〔(Simon van der Meer, Nobel Laureate, Dies at 85, New York Times, March 12, 2011 )〕 a physicist from the Netherlands. It was used to collect and cool antiprotons—these particles were injected into the SPS with counter-rotating protons and collided at a particle physics experiment. For this work, van der Meer was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1984. He shared this prize with Carlo Rubbia of Italy, who conducted the physics experiment that took advantage of this breakthrough. This experiment discovered the W and Z bosons, fundamental particles that carry the weak nuclear force.
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory continues to use ''stochastic cooling'' in its antiproton source. The accumulated antiprotons are used in the Tevatron to collide with protons to create collisions at CDF and the D0 experiment.
Stochastic cooling in the Tevatron at Fermilab was attempted, but was not fully successful. The equipment was subsequently transferred to Brookhaven National Laboratory, where it was successfully used in a longitudinal cooling system in RHIC, operationally used beginning in 2006. Since 2012 RHIC has 3D operational stochastic cooling, i.e. cooling the horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal planes.
==Technical details==

Stochastic cooling uses the electrical signals produced by individual particles in a group of particles (called a "bunch" of particles) to drive an electro-magnet device, usually an electric kicker, that will kick the bunch of particles to reduce the wayward momentum of that one particle. These individual kicks are applied continuously and over an extended time, the average tendency of the particles to have wayward momenta is reduced. These cooling times range from a second to several minutes, depending on the depth of the cooling that is required.
Stochastic cooling is used to reduce the transverse momentum spread within a bunch of charged particles in a storage ring by detecting fluctuations in the momentum of the bunches and applying a correction (a "steering pulse" or "kick"). This is an application of negative feedback. This is known as "cooling" as the bunch can be thought of as containing an internal temperature. If the average momentum of the bunch were to be subtracted from the momentum of each particle, then the charged particles would appear to move randomly, much like the molecules in a gas. The more vigorous the motion, the "hotter" the bunch is—again, just like the molecules in a gas.
The charged particles travel in bunches in potential wells, and the oscillation of the center of mass of each bunch is easily damped using standard RF techniques. However, the internal momentum spread of each bunch is not affected by this damping. The key to stochastic cooling is to address individual particles within each bunch using electromagnetic radiation.
The bunches pass a wideband optical scanner, which detects the position of the individual particles.
In a synchrotron the transverse motion of the particles is easily damped by synchrotron radiation, which has a short pulse length and wide bandwidth, but the longitudinal motion can only be increased by simple devices (see for example Free electron laser).
To achieve cooling the position information is fed-back into the particle bunches (using, for example, a fast kicker magnet), producing a negative feedback loop.

* For transversal cooling the same devices are used as in an oscilloscope or in a Streak camera
*
* directional couplers, that integrate measurement and steering adjustment (in this context often called kicking) in one device. Coupled energy increases with the square of the length of the structure due to reapplying the field to the particle. The particles travel near but not exactly at light-speed, so the devices are need to slow down the light.

* Cherenkov radiation. The signals from multiple elements of the microstructure are added before being fed to the amplifier, reducing noise.

* Multiple devices tuned (narrow band=lower noise) to different frequencies are used, so that about 20 GHz can be covered.
The bunches are focused through a small hole between the electrode structure, so that the devices have access to the near-field of the radiation.
Additionally the current impinging on the electrode is measured and based on this information the electrodes are centered on the beam and moved together while the beams cools and gets smaller.
The word “stochastic” in the title stems from the fact that usually only some of the particles can unambiguously be addressed at once. Instead, small groups of particles are addressed within each bunch, and the adjustment or kick applies to the average momentum of each group.
Thus they cannot be cooled down all at once but instead it requires multiple steps. The smaller the group of particles which can be detected and adjusted at once (requiring higher bandwidth), the faster the cooling.
As the particles in the storage ring travel at nearly the speed of light, the feedback loop, in general, has to wait until the bunch returns to make the correction. The detector and the kicker can be placed on different positions on the ring with appropriately chosen delays to match the eigenfrequencies of the ring.
The cooling is more efficient for long bunches, as the position spread between particles is longer. Optimally bunches are as short as possible in the accelerators of the ring and as long as possible in the coolers.
Devices which do this are intuitively called stretcher, compressor, or buncher, debuncher. (The links point to the equivalent devices for light pulses, so please note that the prisms in the link are functionally replaced by dipole magnets in a particle accelerator.)
In low energy rings the bunches can be overlapped with freshly created and thus cool (1000 K) electron bunches from a linac.
This is a direct coupling to a lower temperature bath, which also cools the beam. Afterwards the electrons can also be analyzed and stochasitic cooling applied.
