ELECTRON BEAMS AS STOCHASTIC 3D KICKERS

This article describes an idea combining electron and stochastic cooling in one device. The amplified signal of displacements of the ion from the pick-up electrode is applied to the control electrode of an electron gun. Thus, a wave of space charge in the electron beam is induced. This wave propagates with the electron beam to the cooling section. The space charge of the electron beam acts on the ion beam producing a kick. The effectiveness of the amplification can be improved with using a structure similar to a traveling-wave tube.
