Thermal Analysis and Simulations of the Abort Kicker Magnets Systems for the Electron-Ion Collider

The Abort Kicker Magnets system used in the current Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to steer the circulating beam into the dump will be subjected to higher heat loads in the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). After analyzing the existing abort kicker magnets and running thermal simulations in ANSYS it was concluded that they may not be suitable for use as-is in the future EIC due to heat and impedance concerns in the magnets. Possible solutions include adding a round titanium-coated ceramic beam tube to help solve the heat and impedance concerns, but this will reduce the limiting aperture of the kicker magnet. Another possible solution to meet all the performance requirements for EIC would be to add titanium-coated ceramic plates with water-cooling and tapered transitions that significantly improve the impedance and lower the heat in the magnets with less reduction to the aperture.

Beam Induced Heating Analysis Update for the EIC Vacuum Chamber Components

One of the challenges of designing the Electron-Ion Col lider (EIC) is to mitigate beam-induced heating due to the intense electron and hadron beams. Heating of the ESR vac uum chamber components is mainly due to beam-induced resistive wall (RW) losses and synchrotron radiation. For the HSR heating is mainly due to large radial offsets and heat conduction from room temperature to cryogenic tem perature for cryo-components. In this paper, we provide an update on the beam-induced heating and thermal analysis of some critical ESR vacuum chamber components, such as the ESR Large Angle Bremhustraulung Monitor (LABM). We also provide a similar update for critical HSR vacuum com ponents, including the cryo-cooled BPM button assembly, beam screen, abort kicker, and polarimeter. To perform the thermal analyses, the resistive wall loss on individual compo nents is calculated with CST and the synchrotron radiation (if exists) is evaluated using SynRad. These losses, along with realistic boundary conditions are then fed to ANSYS to determine the temperature distribution.
