N2 - The design of the high-energy cooler for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) recently adopted a nonmagnetized approach. To prevent recombination between the fully stripped gold ions and co-propagating electrons, a helical undulator magnet has been proposed. In addition, to counteract space-charge defocusing, weak solenoids are proposed every 10m. To understand the effect of these magnets on the cooling rate, numerical models of cooling in the presence of external fields are needed. We present an approach from first principles using the VORPAL parallel simulation code. We solve the n-body problem by exact calculation of pair-wise collisions. Simulations of the proposed RHIC cooler are discussed, including fringe field and finite interaction time effects.
