Study of Particle Loss in Synchrotron Phase Space Injection for ESR Using Weak-Strong Beam-Beam Simulation with Nonlinear Lattice
In this report, we use tracking simulations to investigate synchrotron phase space injection for electron accumulation in the electron storage ring of the Electron Ion Collider. Our simulation model accounts for both beam-beam interactions and lattice nonlinearities. Specifically, we examine how particle loss is influenced by various parameters. Additionally, we conduct a theoretical analysis and derive an analytical formula for the rapid evaluation of particle loss. Our results demon strate the feasibility of synchrotron phase-space injection for the electron storage ring and provide insights to guide parameter selection for the design of the injection line.

Electron cloud thresholds at the arcs of the Electron-Ion Collider hadron storage ring
The Electron-Ion Collider is designed to provide high-luminosity collisions. For the highest lu minosity scenario, the hadron storage ring will host a 275 GeV beam consisting of 1160 bunches with 6.9e10 protons per bunch. Previous work has found that some sections of the hadron storage ring will experience electron cloud buildup if their vacuum chamber does not show a sufficiently low secondary electron emission value. This technical note reviews the electron cloud growth thresholds for the updated screen profile and lattice.

Designing linear lattices for round beam in electron storage rings using the solution by linear matrices analysis
For some synchrotron light source beamline applications, a round beam is preferable to a flat one. A conventional method of obtaining round beam in an electron storage ring is to shift its tune close to a linear difference resonance. The linearly coupled beam dynamics is analyzed with perturbation theories, which have certain limitations. In this paper, we adopt the Solution by LInear Matrices (SLIM) analysis to calculate exact beam sizes to design round beam lattices. The SLIM analysis can deal with a generally linearly coupled accelerator lattice. The effects of various coupling sources on beam emittances and sizes can be studied within a self-consistent frame. Both the on- and off-resonance schemes to obtain round beams are explained with examples. The SLIM formalism for two widely used magnet models: combined-function bending magnets, and planar wigglers and undulators, is also derived.

Nanoporous Fe 2 O 3 and Soluble Fe(II) Intermediates Accelerate the Electrodeposition of Fe in NaOH(aq)
Electrochemical conversion of iron oxide to iron metal can enable low-cost batteries for long duration energy storage and zero-emissions ironmaking for steel. Iron oxides, such as hematite, can be electrochemically reduced to metallic iron in concentrated alkaline electrolytes at modest temperatures, but the relative influences of solid-state and dissolved intermediates at practical reaction rates remains unclear. Here, in this study, we prepare a homologous set of well-defined hematite particles to measure how the nanoscale morphology of oxides controls both their reactivity and apparent reduction mechanism in concentrated hydroxide. Correlated electron microscopy and rotating-ring-disk-electrode measurements revealed that nanoporous hematite and solid intermediates formed iron via a dissolution-redeposition pathway. In contrast, dense hematite particles directly formed iron metal via reactive fracture. While previous studies on iron electrowinning have primarily emphasized the role of particle diameter at the micron scale, these results demonstrate the importance of the dissolution-redeposition pathway to support rapid reaction rates and suggest that nanoscale porosity controls iron oxide reactivity at temperatures <100 °C. Therefore, iron-oxide-to-metal electrolyzers and fast-charging iron-air batteries supported by curtailed electricity can increase the rate of metal formation by accelerating fracture and dissolution in reactant oxides.

Electron storage ring power supply system design report
In January 2020, U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette announced the decision to build an Electron Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). While advancing the state of the art of particle colliders, the EIC will enable the U.S. nuclear physics community, with world wide participation, to take a giant step forward in the centuries-old quest to understand the nature of matter at its most fundamental level, providing the clearest picture yet of how the elemental quarks and gluons interact to form the basic structure of atoms and nuclei. The EIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory will be the first particle accelerator capable of colliding polarized ions with polarized electrons.

Suppression of the vacuum space-charge effect in fs-photoemission by a retarding electrostatic front lens
The performance of time-resolved photoemission experiments at fs-pulsed photon sources is ultimately limited by the e–e Coulomb interaction, downgrading energy and momentum resolution. Here, we present an approach to effectively suppress space-charge artifacts in momentum microscopes and photoemission microscopes. A retarding electrostatic field generated by a special objective lens repels slow electrons, retaining the k-image of the fast photoelectrons. The suppression of space-charge effects scales with the ratio of the photoelectron velocities of fast and slow electrons. Fields in the range from -20 to 01100 V/mm for E kin = 100 eV to 4 keV direct secondaries and pump-induced slow electrons back to the sample surface. Ray tracing simulations reveal that this happens within the first 40 to 3 μm above the sample surface for E kin = 100 eV to 4 keV. An optimized front-lens design allows switching between the conventional accelerating and the new retarding mode. Time-resolved experiments at E kin = 107 eV using fs extreme ultraviolet probe pulses from the free-electron laser FLASH reveal that the width of the Fermi edge increases by just 30 meV at an incident pump fluence of 22 mJ/cm2 (retarding field -21 V/mm). For an accelerating field of +2 kV/mm and a pump fluence of only 5 mJ/cm 2 , it increases by 0.5 eV (pump wavelength 1030 nm). At the given conditions, the suppression mode permits increasing the slow-electron yield by three to four orders of magnitude. The feasibility of the method at high energies is demonstrated without a pump beam at E kin = 3830 eV using hard x rays from the storage ring PETRA III. The approach opens up a previously inaccessible regime of pump fluences for photoemission experiments.

The beam screens of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) have several beam-induced heat sources: the resistive-wall impedance, the electron cloud, and beam particle losses. This note discusses the heat load to the HSR screens from resistive-wall impedance and beam particle losses for different beam scenarios.

Status of the Muon G − 2 Experiment
The Muon g−2 Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory was designed to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aµ, with a precision of 140 parts-per-billion; a four-fold improvement over the former BNL measurement. The Fermilab experiment was motivated by the about 3.5 standard deviation between the experiment and the Standard Model calculation of aµ which could be a hint of new physics. The experiment at Fermilab relies on the well-established storage ring technique using magic momentum muons but employs new detector systems and a higher rate of muons per injection cycle to achieve the significant improvement in precision. A first result from the Run-1 data taking period has achieved an uncertainty of 0.46 parts-per-million and confirmed the BNL discrepancy, further increasing the tension with the Standard Model to 4.2 σ. The experimental technique, key aspects of the measurement, and the data analysis of Run-1 will be summarized.

Experimental Single Electron 4D Tracking in IOTA
This paper presents the results of the first experiments on 4D tracking of a single electron using a linear multi-anode photomultiplier tube. The reported technology makes it is possible to fully track a single electron in a storage ring, which requires tracking of amplitudes and phases for both, slow synchrotron and fast betatron oscillations. Complete tracking of a point-like object enabled the first direct measurements of single-particle dynamical properties, including dynamical invariants, amplitude-dependent oscillation frequencies, and chaotic behavior.

Progress on the normal conducting magnets for the Electron-Ion Collider
The electron-ion collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is designed to deliver a peak luminosity of 1e+34 1/cm2 1/sec. The EIC will take advantage of the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. Two additional rings will be installed: an electron storage ring (ESR) and a rapid cycling electron synchrotron ring (RCS).This paper presents an update on the normal conducting magnet designs required for both the ESR and RCS rings. The ESR will store polarized electron beams up to 18 GeV and utilizes a triplet of dipole magnets to increase the emittance at 5 GeV and generate excess bending to create additional radiation damping to allow a larger beam-beam tune shift. The RCS will accelerate single bunches of spin-polarized electrons at various energies from 5 GeV to 18 GeV, with a ramp rate of 100 ms and 1 Hz repetition rate. Both rings require dipole, quadrupole and sextupole magnets with different specifications.

Realizing Steady-State Microbunching with Optical Stochastic Crystallization
Optical Stochastic Cooling (OSC) is a state-of-the-art beam cooling technology first demonstrated in 2021 at the IOTA storage ring at Fermilab's FAST facility. A second phase of the research program is planned to run in early 2025 and will incorporate an optical amplifier to enable significantly increased cooling rates and greater operational flexibility. In addition to beam cooling, an OSC system can be configured to enable advanced control over the phase space of the beam. An example operational mode could enable crystallization, where the particles in a bunch are locked into a self-reinforcing, regular microstructure at the OSC fundamental wavelength; we refer to this as Optical Stochastic Crystallization (OSX). OSX represents a new path toward Steady-State Microbunching (SSMB), which may enable light sources combining the high brightness of a free-electron laser with the high repetition rate of a storage ring. Such a source has applications from the terahertz to the extreme ultraviolet (EUV), including high-power EUV generation for semiconductor lithography. This contribution will discuss the status of the OSC experimental program and its potential to achieve the first demonstration of SSMB during the upcoming experimental run.

Beam dynamics in a storage ring with a free-electron laser
In this paper, we study the dynamics of the electron beam in a diffraction limited storage ring with a high-gain free-electron laser. We present in detail the design, including lattice, dynamic aperture, intrabeam scattering, and coherent synchrotron radiation. The simulation of the electron storage ring combined with the free-electron laser is carried out until the electron beam reaches its equilibrium. We find that the initial exponential radiation power is reduced approximately to linear with respect to the undulator length due to the large increase of the energy spread from the free-electron laser.

Spectral flux density distributions of long-wavelength Edge Radiation, i.e. radiation generated by relativistic electrons at edges of bending magnets in a storage ring are described, both analytically and numerically. Possibilities of using this radiation for the alignment of optical components of bending magnet beamlines at NSLS-II and for non-destructive X-ray and electron beam diagnostics at these beamlines are discussed.
