Optical Stochastic Cooling with an Arc-Bypass in CESR

Abstract

A proposed experiment to demonstrate Optical Stochastic Cooling (OSC) in the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) based on an arc-bypass design is presented. This arc-bypass provides significantly longer optical delay than the dog-leg style chicane, opening up the possibility of a multi-pass or staged optical amplifier that can achieve the gains required for effective cooling of hadron or heavy-ions. Beyond introducing the arc-bypass, in this paper we study the stability requirements for the dipoles comprising it and investigate the use of an optical feedback system to relax the dipole and light-path stability tolerances.
