Research paper thumbnail of Electron Cooling of RHIC

Proceedings of the 2005 Particle Accelerator Conference, 2005

This electron cooler is designed to cool 100 GeV/nucleon at storage energy using 54 MeV electrons. The electron source will be a superconducting RF photocathode gun. The accelerator will be a superconducting energy recovery linac. The frequency of the accelerator is set at 703.75 MHz. The maximum electron bunch frequency is 9.38 MHz, with bunch charge of 20 nC. The R&D program has the following components: The photoinjector and its photocathode, the superconducting linac cavity, start-to-end beam dynamics with magnetized electrons, electron cooling calculations including benchmarking experiments and development of a large superconducting solenoid. The photoinjector and linac cavity are being incorporated into an energy recovery linac aimed at demonstrating ampere class current at about 20 MeV.

Since beams with higher intensity and smaller bunch spacing became possible in operation, the emittance growth is of concern. Study results are reported together with experiences of machine improvements: saturated NEG coatings, anti-grazing ridges in warm sections, and the pre-pumping in cryogenic regions.

Research paper thumbnail of Small gap magnets and vacuum chambers for eRHIC

eRHIC[1][2][3], a future high luminosity electron-ion collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory ... more eRHIC[1][2][3], a future high luminosity electron-ion collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), will add polarized electrons to the list of colliding species in RHIC. A 10-30 GeV electron energy recovery linac (ERL) will require up to six passes around the RHIC 3.8 km circumference. We are developing and testing small (5 mm) gap dipole and quadrupole magnets and vacuum chambers for cost-effective eRHIC passes [4]. We are also studying the sensitivity of eRHIC pass optics to magnet and alignment errors in such a small magnet structure. We present the magnetic and mechanical designs of the small gap eRHIC components and prototyping test progress.
