At the end of its operations in 2011, the Fermilab antiproton production complex consisted of a sophisticated target system, three 8-GeV storage rings (namely the Debuncher, the Accumulator and the Recycler), 25 independent multi-GHz…
The Recycler Electron Cooler (REC) was the first cooler working at a relativistic energy (gamma = 9.5). It was successfully developed in 1995-2004 and was in operation at Fermilab in 2005-2011, providing cooling of antiprotons in the…
The Recycler Electron cooler was the first (and so far, the only) cooler working at a relativistic energy ({\gamma} = 9.5). It was successfully developed in 1995-2004 and was in operation at Fermilab in 2005-2011, providing cooling of…
Antiprotons in Fermilab's Recycler ring are cooled by a 4.3 MeV, 0.1 - 0.5 A DC electron beam (as well as by a stochastic cooling system). The unique combination of the relativistic energy ({\gamma} = 9.49), an Ampere - range DC beam, and a…
