Abstract

The Coherent Electron Cooling Proof-of-Principle experiment [1] based on an FEL is currently under construction in the RHIC tunnel at BNL. Diagnostics for the experimental machine [2] are currently being designed, built and installed. This paper focuses on the design of the infrared diagnostic instrumentation downstream of the three tandem 2.8 m long helical wiggler sections that will act on a 22 MeV 68 uA electron beam co-propagating with the 40GeV/u RHIC gold beam. The 14 um FEL radiation, or wiggler light, will be extracted from RHIC via a viewport in a downstream DX magnet cryostat and analysed by instrumentation on a nearby optics bench. Instruments concentrating on three parameters, namely intensity, spectral content, and transverse profile, will extract information from the wiggler light in an attempt to quantify the overlap of the electron and ion beams and act as an indicator of coherent cooling.
