NUMERICAL NOISE STUDY IN EIC BEAM-BEAM SIMULATIONS

In the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) design, a flat beam collision scheme is adopted to achieve 1034 cm -2 s -1 luminosity. We found that the vertical growth of the proton beam is much larger than of the round beam. In this article we present the numerical noise study about the number of macroparticles, the electron slice number, and the electron bunch length. Both weak-strong and strong-strong simulation methods are used. It turns out the proton emittance growth in the strong-strong simulation mainly comes from the numerical noise. This study helps us to perform beam-beam simulation correctly for the EIC.

STUDY OF HARMONIC CRAB CAVITY IN EIC BEAM-BEAM SIMULATIONS

In the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) design, crab cavities are adopted to compensate the geometric luminosity loss from the crossing angle. From previous studies, higher-order synchro-betatron resonances are excited since the hadron beam is long and the crossing angle is large. To reduce the luminosity degradation rate, different combinations of harmonic crab cavities are studied with both weak-strong and strong-strong simulation methods. The frequency map analysis (FMA) is also used for comparison. This study helps determine the crab cavity parameters for the future EIC.

FULL RANGE TUNE SCAN STUDIES USING GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNITS WITH CUDA IN EIC BEAM-BEAM SIMULATIONS

The hadron beam in the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) suffers high order betatron and synchro-betatron resonances. In this paper, we present a weak-strong full range (0.0 ~ 0.5) fractional tune scan with a step size as small as 0.001. Multiple Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are used to speed up the simulation. A code parallelized with MPI and CUDA is implemented. The good tune region from weak-strong scan is further checked by the self-consistent strong-strong simulation. This study provides beam dynamics guidance in choosing proper working points for the future EIC.
