Thermal simulation of the EIC HSR interconnect module - RF fingers

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) will reuse most of the existing superconducting magnets from the RHIC storage ring. However, the existing beam vacuum chamber and stripline BPMs will not be compatible with the planned EIC hadron bunches that will have a 3x higher intensity and be 10x shorter, and some operational scenarios with large radial offsets of the beam in the vacuum chamber. To address these challenges, a copper coated beam screen will be implemented, the existing RHIC stripline BPMs will be shielded and an interconnect module design, including new BPM will be installed adjacent to the existing BPMs. A thermal analysis of the new arc BPM interconnect housing has been conducted to assess the heating caused by beam induced resistive wall heating and electron cloud heating. An analysis of the BPM module has been made and reported separately. This report will focus on the other side of the interconnect module, containing the RF fingers.

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.
