Electron-Ion Collider Design Status

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is being designed for construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Activities have been focused on beam-beam simulations, polarization studies, and beam dynamics, as well as on maturing the layout and lattice design of the constituent accelerators and the interaction region. The latest design advances will be presented.

Electron lenses in RHIC: status and prospects

Two electron lenses are installed in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). They were used as operational head-on beam-beam compensators in proton-proton collisions, with Gaussian transverse electron beam profiles. One of the lenses was also used with a hollow transverse profile to test hadron beam halo removal under various conditions. Although presently not in the design, the lenses may find applications in the Electron-ion Collider (EIC) for either collimation or beam-beam mitigation.
