Eddy current studies for the beam screen of the Electron-Ion Collider hadron storage ring superconducting magnets
A copper-clad stainless steel beam screen will be installed in each of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) superconducting (SC) magnets used for making the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR). Eddy currents are induced within conductors to oppose a changing magnetic flux. Eddy currents will appear on the EIC HSR beam screens during ramp up and ramp down, after a magnet quenches and when reversing the polarity of the γ transition jump quadrupoles during γ transition crossing. This study evaluates the magnitude of the eddy currents, the temperature increase due to Joule heating and the stress at the beam screens from the eddy-current induced force.

Soft and hard aspects of QCD dynamics in hadronic form factors
I give an overview of (mostly my own) work on aspects of QCD dynamics in hadronic form factors at large momentum transfer. The topics include a discussion of basics of soft and hard mechanisms, QCD sum rule applications, and connection of form factors to generalized parton distributions.

Estimates of the Recombination Rate for the Strong Hadron Cooling System in the EIC
Monitoring the recombination process of the ions as they go through the cooling section serves as a crucial tool for aligning their energy with that of the electrons. In this note, we calculate the recombination rate for the Strong Hadron Cooling system based on the MBEC.

Formalism for Local Correction of Vertical Crabbing in Hadron Storage Ring
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) incorporates crab cavities in both the Electron Storage Ring (ESR) and the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) to achieve unprecedented luminosity goals. This technical note presents a formalism for the local correction of vertical crabbing in the HSR, addressing the complexities introduced by the integration of crab cavities and the interplay between betatron coupling and crabbing dispersion. Various strategies, including the use of skew quadrupoles and adjustments of Twiss functions, are explored to compensate vertical crabbing to achieve optimal beam-beam performance. The derived theoretical formulas offer practical guidance for minimizing the required vertical crabbing corrections, and will be implemented in the HSR lattice design.

Multi-hadron systems via Lattice QCD
This project supported a broad set of research in theoretical nuclear physics which has been designed to support current and future experimental DOE facilities. The broad summary of physical observables of interest in this project were the bread-and-butter observables obtained in experimental nuclear and particle physics experiments, namely scattering amplitude including multi-hadronic states. The primary goal of this project was to design a systematically improvable paradigm for accessing such amplitudes directly from the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The main tools that were used and explored in this project were scattering theory, lattice QCD, and future quantum computers. The physics outputs included various novel formalisms, exploratory lattice QCD calculations, and a new proposal for studying any scattering observable using future quantum computers.

EIC hadron ring longitudinal stability simulations at injection
At the EIC injection energy (23.8 GeV for protons), the hadron beam experiences a relatively strong space charge field. The corresponding wakefield, in conjunction with the wakes from the RF cavities (i.e. the geometrical wakes), may become the cause of single-bunch instabilities, both longitudinal and transverse. In this report, we focus on the longitudinal stability aspect of this picture, using a simplified model for the ring.

The Low-Beta Quadrupoles for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider: enabling higher luminosity by using Nb_3Sn conductor
The large-aperture, high-gradient Low Beta Quadrupoles for the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN are the cornerstones of this collider. They are first-of-the-kind accelerator magnets bringing Nb_3Sn conductor to High Energy Physics colliders. In the US they are being fabricated and tested by the HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP), and in Europe by CERN. The design was developed by AUP and CERN in close collaboration. The Q1/Q3 cryo-assemblies contain two 4.2 m long magnets (MQXFA) fabricated and by AUP. They are tested vertically before use in a cry-assembly. In this paper we are going to present the main features of the MQXFA design, results of vertical tests, and main lessons learned. We will also discuss lessons learned for future use of Nb_3Sn magnets in HEP colliders.

Investigating the Transverse Structure of Hadrons Using Parton Pseudodistributions
Within the pseudo-PDF framework, we investigate the perturbative contributions to correlators that are used to study transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) on the lattice. Our results contain the full perturbative corrections which arise as artifacts from performing the calculation for a Euclidean separation between the parton fields, as well as the corrections which yield the evolution equations for the TMDs. This gives a path to extraction of the genuine non-perturbative features of the three-dimensional structure of the hadrons from lattice calculations.

Hadron Storage Ring Transition Crossing for Yellow Only Configuration
The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) has undergone many iterations. This technical note captures the progress made on transition crossing in the HSR studies for the yellow only configuration. Being heavily dependent on the phase advance per cell, the hsr-au-trans-8786phi-071725 optics was used where the phase advances per arc cell are 87°, horizontal and 85°, vertical. These phase advances were chosen to aid in the cancellation of the β and η waves generated during the jump and to minimize the tune shift. The total change in the γ T is 1 unit as prescribed. This technical note will describe the process in which HSR will jump transition with the assumption that longitudinal dynamics will be handled similar to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

The preliminary design includes the periodic cells, matching sections, state of the art Twiss parameters at the HSR injection, the magnet parameters and first order instrumentation placement. Furthermore, the beamline parameters, element coordinates, and other information are discussed. The names of the HSR Injection Beamline elements used in this technical report ( i.e. HD1, HQ1 ) are preliminary and not the official site wide names.

Snakes for the Hadron Storage Ring
The Electron Ion Collider calls for collisions of polarized proton and polarized helion beams on polarized electron beams. To preserve polarization of these polarized hadron beams during acceleration, six full helical snakes will be installed. As there are currently 4 snakes in RHIC, the remaining two snakes will be made from existing rotator magnet coils. The existing snakes are made from only right-handed helices where the rotator magnets are made from both right handed and left handed helicity magnets. In order for a sufficient stock of spare coils, one snake will be made of left handed coils. Simulations using Opera field maps in zgoubi show the left handed snake has sufficient range to provide the desired snake precession axes for helions and protons with the existing power supplies. This is an overview of the right and left handed snake assemblies and their effects.

Single-Bunch Instabilities Driven by Space Charge During Low-Energy Cooling at Injection in the EIC Hadron Storage Ring
This paper presents a simulation-based study of single-bunch dynamics at the injection energy of 23.8 GeV for protons in the EIC hadron storage ring, focusing on the impact of space-charge–driven instabilities. The analysis demonstrates that at this energy, the proton bunch experiences significant transverse space-charge forces, which can reduce the stability margin in the presence of the geometric and resistive wall impedance. Various collective effects were considered, with particular attention to the nonlinear nature of the transverse space charge. To stabilize the beam, high chromaticity and octupoles were introduced and their effects analyzed using the ELEGANT code. The results provide a quantitative assessment of the stability thresholds and offer guidance for the machine design and operational strategy at injection.
