Heavy ion storage and acceleration in the HESR with stochastic cooling and internal target

Heavy ion stochastic momentum cooling is investigated under the constraint of the present concept of the high energy storage ring (HESR). A bare uranium beam is injected from the collector ring into the HESR at 740 MeV u(-1) and a beam preparation for an internal target experiment is outlined. Further the acceleration of the ion beam to 4.5 GeV u(-1) is considered and an internal target experiment is studied. The simulations include the beam-target interaction involved with a hydrogen target. The capability of momentum filter cooling is envisaged and the possibility of time-of-flight momentum cooling is examined at lower energies where the revolution harmonics begin to overlap.
