Electron Cooling Mission

   The goal of the Electron Cooling Project in the Recycler Ring is to effectively cool 8.9-GeV/c antiprotons by mixing them in a 20-m long cooling section with a cold beam of 4.8-MeV/c electrons. 


   The implementation of electron cooling should significantly increase the number of antiprotons stored in the Recycler and improve the antiproton production rate in the Accumulator.  In turn, it will increase the luminosity of the Tevatron collider.
