Description

Final Cooling is an optimisation problem: Transverse emittance goes down inverse-exponentially, whereas longitudinal emittance increases exponentially.
The system is simplified to consider only absorber length, initial energy and energy spread, then a genetic algorithm is applied to minimize both emittances.
Once a solution is chosen, a more advanced lattice design can be constructed.
A successful result would simplify aperture and RF frequency hardware constraints for all downstream systems.
