Abstract

This one-year NSF support is solely used for the support of graduate students in their thesis research on (1) the physics and technology of beam cooling and (2) applications of quadrupole-mode transfer functions in beam manipulation, measurements of beam properties, etc. The beam cooling techniques can provide high brightness beams for high energy and nuclear physics research with higher precision and higher luminosity. The quadrupole-mode transfer function can be used to manipulate beams distribution for emittance measurements, space charge compensation, and impedance measurements.
