Abstract:
Intrabeam scattering (IBS) is a multiple scattering effect
between stored beam particles. It leads to diffusion
in all three spatial dimensions and thus, causes an expansion
of the whole ion beam. IBS plays an important role in
the equilibriumdiameter of a low- velocity, electron-cooled
ion beam. IBS effects for coasting and bunched 12C6+ ion
beams at an energy of 73.3 MeV were studied using the
TSR heavy ion cooler storage ring. Experimental results of
the IBS rates are presented.
