Crab cavity requirements for the Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider

An Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) has been proposed to be the next large facility to explore the dynamics of quarks and gluons inside nuclei. A conceptual design for a Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) is being developed. It is based on the CEBAF 12 GeV machine as a full energy electron beam injector. Two crucial requirements of JLEIC are high luminosity in the 10 34 cm -2 s -1 range, and full acceptance detection of particles. The full acceptance requirement relies on having the beams collide at a relatively large crossing angle of 50 mrad. Such a large crossing angle, however, can reduce the luminosity by as much as an order of magnitude. One way to compensate for geometric luminosity loss due to the beam crossing angle is using crab cavities. Crab cavities are superconducting radio-frequency structures optimized to produce a transverse force that 'tilts' the beam bunches in such a way that a head-on collision is restored at the collision point, thus restoring the luminosity. A second set of crab cavities is placed downstream of the collision point and is used to cancel the initial bunch tilt, ideally suppressing any crab-induced effects anywhere else in the rings. In this dissertation, we study the dynamics of JLEIC beams with a bunch crabbing scheme using particle tracking simulations. We first evaluate the beam stability when crab cavities are included in the collider rings and then use this stable model to study effects of crab cavity multipoles and RF noise. We also study the role of crab cavity higher-order modes (HOM) in driving coupled-bunch instability and identify dangerous HOM which need to be damped. A specific crab cavity for JLEIC has not yet been selected. It is the purpose of this dissertation to provide general requirements and tolerances to make future crab cavity designs compatible with JLEIC.

Analyses of 476 MHz and 952 MHz Crab Cavities for JLAB Electron Ion Collider

The Center for Accelerator Science at Old Dominion University has designed, fabricated and successfully tested a crab cavity for Electron Ion Collider at Jefferson Lab (JLEIC) [1]. This proof-of-principle cavity was based on the earlier MEIC design which used 748.5 MHz RF system. The updated JLEIC (called MEIC earlier) design [2] utilizes the components from PEP-II. It results in the change on the bunch repetition rate of stored beam to 476.3 MHz. The ion ring collider will eventually require 952.6 MHz crab cavities. This paper will present the analyses of crab cavities of both 476 MHz and 952 MHz options. It compares advantages and disadvantages of the options which provide the JLEIC design team important technical information for a system down selection.

The Detector Design of the Jefferson Lab EIC

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is envisioned as the next-generation U.S. facility to study quarks and gluons in strongly interacting matter. The broad physics program of the EIC aims to precisely image gluons in nucleons and nuclei and to reveal the origin of the nucleon spin by colliding polarized electrons with polarized protons, polarized light ions, and heavy nuclei at high luminosity. The Jefferson Lab EIC (JLEIC) design is based on a figure-8 shaped ring-ring collider. The luminosity, exceeding 1033cm -2 s -1 in a broad range of the center-of-mass energy and maximum luminosity above 1034cm -2 s -1 , is achieved by high-rate collisions of short small-emittance low-charge bunches made possible by high-energy electron cooling of the ion beam and synchrotron radiation damping of the electron beam. The polarization of light ion species (p, d, 3He) can be easily preserved and manipulated due to the unique figure-8 shape of the collider rings. The focus of this presentation is put on the JLEIC primary detector that has been designed to support the full physics program of the EIC and to provide essentially full acceptance to all fragments produced in collisions. The detector has been fully integrated with the accelerator and extended to the forward electron and hadron regions to achieve exceptional small-angle acceptance and resolution as well as high-precision electron polarimetry and low-Q 2 tagging. The Central Detector design allows for excellent tracking up to small angles and excellent hadron PID resulting and offers a great performance, in particular for semi-inclusive and exclusive measurements. The combination of high luminosity, highly polarized lepton and ion beams, and a full acceptance, multi-purpose detector fully integrated with the accelerator will allow JLEIC a unique opportunity to make breakthroughs in the investigation of the strong interaction.

Feasibility of measuring EDM in spin transparent colliders

A new polarization control mode called a Spin Transparency (ST) mode is currently being actively developed for new rings. The ST mode is an intrinsic feature of figure-8 rings such as the JLEIC at Jefferson Lab. A racetrack collider can be converted to the ST mode by inserting two identical Siberian snakes into its opposite straights as at NICA, JINR. The ST mode allows one to develop a completely new approach to the measurement of the EDMs of both protons and deuterons. The idea of the method is to use the significant enhancement of the EDM signal by the interaction of the EDM with arc magnets, which has an interference effect. A unique feature of this technique is the conceptual capability of measuring the EDM signal in the whole energy range of a ring without introducing additional electric fields using only its magnetic fields. We describe an experimental setup and provide estimates of the limiting EDM values that can be measured at the JLEIC and NICA colliders.

Optimization of an Interaction Region Quadrupole Magnet for a Future Electron-Ion Collider at JLab

The Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) is a proposed new machine for nuclear physics research. It uses the existing CEBAF accelerator as a full energy injector to deliver 3 to 11 GeV electrons into a new electron collider ring. An all new ion accelerator and collider complex will deliver up to 200 GeV protons. The machine has luminosity goals of 10 34 cm -2 sec -1 . The whole detector region including forward detection covers about 80 meters of the JLEIC complex. The lattice file for the machine has changed to accommodate the higher energy; this change requires all the magnets in the interaction region to change. This paper will describe the requirements for both the ion and electron beam superconducting magnets around the interaction point. All the Final Focusing Quadrupole (FFQ) magnets now have preliminary designs. This paper will describe the optimization process for one of these FFQs. The optimization is performed using the optimization module of SIMULIA Opera FEA and compared with ROXIE. An analytical design tool has also been developed to estimate the peak field in the coils. The quadrupole has been optimized for peak field in the coils, and magnetic length.

The Beam-Beam Effect and its Consequences for the Jefferson Lab EIC

In this work we address the effect of beam jitter on emittance growth as caused by the beam-beam effect on the Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC). This proposed collider would collide up to 100 GeV proton beams with up to 10 GeV electron beams. Due to the asymmetric rigidities of the beams and their non-linear lensing action on each other during a collision, collective effects can limit beam storage times. Using simulations we determined that one of JLEIC’s synchronization concepts would require a new set of software tools to accurately understand phase space evolution.

EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF TRANSPARENT SPIN MODE IN RHIC

High electron and ion polarizations are some of the key design requirements of a future Electron Ion Collider (EIC). The transparent spin mode, a concept inspired by the figure 8 ring design of JLEIC, is a novel technique for preservation and control of electron and ion spin polarizations in a collider or storage ring. It makes the ring lattice "invisible" to the spin and allows for polarization control by small quasi-static magnetic fields with practically no effect on the beam’s orbital characteristics. It offers unique opportunities for polarization maintenance and control in Jefferson Lab’s JLEIC and in BNL’s eRHIC. The transparent spin mode has been demonstrated in simulations and we now plan to test it experimentally. We present a design of an experiment using a polarized proton beam stored in one of the RHIC rings. In the experiment, one of the RHIC rings is configured in the transparent spin mode by aligning the axes of its two Siberian snakes. The experiment goals, procedures, hardware requirements and expected results are presented.

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.

Interaction Region Magnets for Future Electron-Ion Collider ¿at Jefferson Lab

The Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) is a pro-posed new machine for nuclear physics research. It uses the existing CEBAF accelerator as a full energy injector to deliver 3 to 12 GeV electrons into a new electron collider ring. An all new ion accelerator and collider complex will deliver up to 200 GeV protons. The machine has luminosity goals of 1034 cm-2 sec-1. The whole detector region including forward detection covers about 80 meters of the JLEIC complex. The interaction region design has recently been optimized to accommodate 200 GeV proton energy using conventional NbTi superconducting magnet technology. This paper will describe the requirements and preliminary designs for both the ion and electron beam magnets in the most complex 34.5 m long interaction region (IR) around the interaction point (IP). The interaction region has over thirty-four superconducting magnets operating at 4.5K; these include dipoles, quadrupoles, skew quadrupoles, solenoids, horizontal and vertical correctors and higher order multipole magnets. The paper will also dis-cuss the electromagnetic interaction between these magnets.
