Abstract:

In late 2007, Fermilab and JINR Dubna entered an Accord on "a Software Development for Electron Cooling Simulation and Experimental Studies of the Cooling Process in the Recycler ring". These reports finalize the Accord and summarize the improvements made to the BETACOOL code in this context.
In particular, the reports cover the specifics of the work accomplished, highlighting the new features available in the BETACOOL code, show comparisons of BETACOOL simulations with ESME calculations for the purpose of validating the longitudinal dynamics algorithm newly implemented in BETACOOL and discuss preliminary comparisons between BETACOOL simulations and data taken at the Recycler.
The updated Physics Guide (i.e. details of the physics included in the code) and the User Manual are also included.

Notes and Changes:

The BETACOOL code can be found at http://lepta.jinr.ru/betacool/index.html although the version available online may not be the one that resulted of the activities covered by the Accord.
