An Overview of RF Systems for the EIC

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) to be constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the USA will be a complex system of accelerators providing high luminosity, high polarization, variable center of mass energy collisions between electrons and protons or ions. To achieve this a variety of RF systems are required. They must provide for capture, formation and storage of Ampere-class beams in the electron and hadron storage rings (ESR and HSR), fast acceleration of high-charge polarized electron bunches in the rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS), provision of cold high current electron bunches in the high-energy cooler ERL and precise high-gradient crabbing of electrons and hadrons either side of the interaction point. The challenges include strong HOM damping in the storage ring cavities and cooler ERL, very high fundamental mode power in the ESR and cooler injector, extremely stable low-noise operation of the crab cavities, mitigation of transient beam loading from gaps, and operating over a wide range of energies and beam currents. We describe the high-level system parameters and principal design choices made and progress on the R&D plan to develop these state of the art systems.

RF Harmonic Kicker R&D Demonstration and Its Application to the RCS Injection of the EIC

The Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is an accelerating component of the electron injection complex, which provides polarized electrons in electron-ion collisions in the main Electron Storage Ring (ESR). We present the injection scheme into the RCS based on an ultra-fast harmonic kicker, whose "five odd-harmonic modes" prototype was developed in the context of the Jefferson Lab EIC (JLEIC) conceptual design. In its early stage of R&D, the sharp (~3 ns width) waveform construction, beam dynamics, and pulsed power operation with short ramping time (~10 us) will be discussed together with the fabrication work of the JLEIC prototype.

The RCS Design Status for the Electron Ion Collider

The design of the Electron-Ion Collider Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) to be constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory is advancing to meet the injection requirements for the Electron Storage Ring (ESR). Over the past year activities are focused on developing the approach to inject two 28 nC bunches every second, up from the original design of one 10nC bunch every second. The solution requires several key changes concerning the injection and extraction kickers, charge accumulation via bunch merging and a carefully calibrated RF acceleration profile to match the longitudinal emittance required by the ESR.

Design of the Electron Ion Collider Electron Storage Ring SRF cavity

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a high luminosity collider as the next major research facility for the nuclear physics community. Among the numerous RF subsystems in the EIC, the electron storage ring (ESR) fundamental RF cavities system is one of the most challenging. This system will handle a high beam current of up to 2.5 A and replenish up to 10 MW of beam power losses from synchrotron radiation and HOM. Variable coupling is required in the cavities due to the wide range of required total RF voltage and beam current combinations. In this paper, we will present the status of the design and future plans.

DESIGN UPDATE ON THE HSR INJECTION KICKER FOR THE EIC

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), the next-generation nuclear science facility, is under the design at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The present RHIC rings will be reconfigured as the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) for the EIC. Design of a stripline injection kicker for the HSR for beams with the rigidity of ~ 81 T-m poses some technical challenges due to the expected shorter bunch spacing, heating due to higher peak current and the larger number of bunches, and the required higher pulsed voltage. Recently, we updated its mechanical design to optimize the characteristic and beam coupling impedances. In addition, we incorporated the impedance tuning capability by introducing the kicker aperture adjustment mechanism. Finally, we incorporated high voltage FID feedthroughs (FC26) to this kicker. This paper reports the design and optimization updates of the HSR injection kicker including the impedance tuning capability, optimization of both the characteristic and the beam coupling impedances, and finally the incorporation of a high voltage feedthrough design.

Optimizing the Design Tunes of the Electron Storage Ring of the Electron-Ion Collider

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) presently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory will collide polarized high energy electron beams with hadron beams with luminosities up to 10^34cm^{-2}s^{-1} in the center mass energy range of 20-140 GeV. Preliminary beam-beam simulations resulted in an optimum working point of (.08, .06) in the Electron Storage Ring (ESR). However, during the ESR polarization simulation study this working point was found to be less than optimal for electron polarization. In this article, we present beam-beam simulation results in a wide range tune scan to search for optimal ESR design tunes that are acceptable for both beam-beam and polarization performances.

The EIC accelerator: design highlights and project status

The design of the electron-ion collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is well underway, aiming at a peak electron-proton luminosity of 10e+34 cm^-1·sec^-1. This high luminosity, the wide center-of-mass energy range from 29 to 141 GeV (e-p) and the high level of polarization require innovative solutions to maximize the performance of the machine, which makes the EIC one of the most challenging accelerator projects to date. The complexity of the EIC will be discussed, and the project status and plans will be presented.

ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM BEAMS RESEARCH USING A FREE-ELECTRON LASER OSCILLATOR

We present a Fixed-Field-Alternating (FFA) permanent magnet racetrack electron accelerator with energy range between 10-60 GeV for the future LHeC. Electron beam is brought back to the linac by the single beam line without requiring electric power REDUCING estimated wall power of 100 MW in the present LHeC design to a negligible power for arcs as the permanent magnets are used. The design is based on experience from the very successful commissioning of the Cornell University and Brookhaven National Laboratory Energy Recovery Test Accelerator ? ?CBETA?. The proposal supports sustainability efforts for LHeC by making a 'green' accelerator. It is an energy recovery linac with 99.9% energy efficiency and reduces the power consumption by using small permanent magnets. The FFA non-linear gradient design is a racetrack shape, where, as in the CBETA, the arcs are matched by adiabatic transition to the two (LHeC) or multiple straight sections. Two 10 GeV superconducting linacs are placed on both sides of the Interaction Region (IR) significantly reducing the power of synchrotron radiation loss.

Progress on the design of the interaction region of the Electron-Ion Collider EIC

We present an update on the design of the Interaction Region (IR) for the the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The EIC will collide high energy and highly polarized hadron and electron beams with a center of mass energy up to 140 GeV with luminosities of up to 10^34 /cm^2/s. The IR, located at RHIC's IR6, is designed to meet the requirements of the nuclear physics community as outlined in [1]. A second IR is technically feasible but not part of the project.The magnet apertures are sufficiently large to allow desired collision products to reach the far-forward detectors; the electron magnet apertures in the rear direction are chosen to be large enough to pass the synchrotron radiation fan. In the forward direction the electron apertures are large enough for non-Gaussian tails.The paper discusses a number of recent recent changes to the design. The machine free region was recently increased from 9 to 9.5 m to allow for more space in the forward direction for the detector. The superconducting magnets on the forward side now operate at 1.9 K, which helps crosstalk and space issues.

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.

TOLERANCES OF CRAB DISPERSION AT THE INTERACTION POINT IN THE HADRON STORAGE RING OF THE ELECTRON-ION COLLIDER

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) presently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory will collide polarized high energy electron beams with hadron beams with luminosities up to 10^34 cm^?2 s^?1 in the center mass energy range of 20-140 GeV. Due to the detector solenoid in the interaction region, the design horizontal crabbing angle will be coupled to the vertical plane if uncompensated. In this article, we study the tolerances of crab dispersion at the interaction point in the EIC Hadron Storage Ring (HSR). Both strong-strong and weak-strong simulations are used. We found that there is a tight tolerance of vertical crabbing angle at the interaction point in the HSR.

Accelerator Physics Lessons From CBETA, the First Multi-turn SRF ERL

The Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) has been designed, constructed, and commissioned in a collaboration between Cornell and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). It focuses on energy-saving measures in accelerators, including permanent magnets, energy recovery, and superconductors; it has thus been referred to as a green accelerator. CBETA has become the world's first Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) that accelerates through multiple turns and then recovers the energy in superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities though multiple decelerating turns. The energy is then available to accelerate more beam. It has also become the first accelerator that operates 7 beams in the same large-energy aperture Fixed Field Alternating-gradient (FFA) lattice. The FFA is constructed of permanent combined function magnets and transports energies of 42, 78, 114, and 150 MeV simultaneously. Accelerator physics lessons from the commissioning period will be described and applications of such an accelerator from hadron cooling to EUV lithography and from nuclear physics to a compact Compton source will be discussed.

6-D ELEMENT-BY-ELEMENT PARTICLE TRACKING WITH CRAB CAVITY PHASE NOISE AND WEAK-STRONG BEAM-BEAM INTERACTION FOR THE HADRON STORAGE RING OF THE ELECTRON-ION COLLIDER

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) presently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory will collide polarized high energy electron beams with hadron beams with luminosities up to 10^34 cm?^2 s^?1 in center mass energy range of 20-140 GeV. Crab cavities are used to compensate the geometric luminosity due to a large crossing angle 25 mrad in the EIC. It was found that the phase noise in crab cavities will generate a significant emittance growth for the hadron beams. The phase noise tolerance from the analytical calculation is very small for the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of the EIC. In this article, we present our preliminary numerical simulation results with a 6-d symplectic particle tracking to determine the proton emittance growth rate with crab cavity phase noise and beam-beam interaction for the HSR.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE 197 MHz CRAB CAVITY FOR THE ELECTRON-ION COLLIDER AT JLAB

Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) is currently developing a prototype 197MHz Radio-Frequency Dipole (RFD) crab cavity as part of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Cryomodules containing these cavities will be part of the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of the EIC. The prototype cavity is constructed primarily of formed niobium sheets of thickness 4.17mm, with machined niobium parts used as interfaces where tight tolerancing is required. The cavity?s large size and complex features present sever-al challenges in fabrication, tuning, and RF testing. Structural and forming analyses have been carried out to optimize the design and fabrication processes. An overview of the design phase and the current state of fabrication are presented in this paper.

Measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly to 0.20 ppm by the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab

The Muon $g-2$ experiment at Fermilab aims to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a_{\mu}=(g-2)/2$, with a final accuracy of 0.14 parts per million (ppm). The experiment’s first result was published in 2021, based on data collected in 2018, and in 2023 a new result was published based on two more years of data taking, 2019 and 2020. The combination of the two results from Fermilab and the previous one from Brookhaven National Laboratory brought the uncertainty on the experimental measurement of $a_{\mu}$ to the unprecedented value of 0.19 ppm. This paper will present details about the improvements of statistical and systematic uncertainties on $a_{\mu}$ since the 2021 result.
