Advancements in Accelerator Physics and System Developments for the EIC

The development and enhancement of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) are founded on extensive research and development efforts aimed at achieving rigorous performance goals. This document outlines the crucial research and development (R&D) efforts that underpin the various systems and components of the EIC, including the polarized electron source and linear accelerator (linac) systems. Achieving the collider’s operational benchmarks relies on meticulously enhancing these components to optimize performance.

Beam Dynamics of the Strong Hadron Cooler ERL at the Electron-Ion Collider

The Strong Hadron Cooler Energy Recovery Linac (SHC-ERL) for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is required to produce an electron beam with a bunch charge of 1 nC, an average current of 100 mA, and a beam energy of both 150 and 55 MeV, with strict requirements for the transverse emittance, slice energy spread, and longitudinal distribution. This paper covers the design in detail, including preliminary considerations of higher order effects and diagnostics.

Design Overview of the Strong Hadron Cooler ERL at the Electron-Ion Collider

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is currently under development to be built at Brookhaven National Lab and requires cooling during collisions in order to preserve the quality of the hadron beam despite degradation due to intra-beam scattering and beam-beam effect. An Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is being designed to deliver the necessary electron beam for Coherent electron Cooling (CeC) of the hadron beam, with an electron bunch charge of 1 nC and an average current of 100 mA; two modes of operation are being developed for 150 and 55 MeV electrons, corresponding to 275 and 100 GeV protons. The injector of this Strong Hadron Cooler ERL (SHC-ERL) is shared with the Injection Cooler ERL, which cools lower energy proton beams via bunched beam cooling, as used in the Low Energy RHIC electron Cooling (LEReC). This talk introduces the layout and presents a high-level overview of the design.
