Beam-Impedance Considerations for the EIC HSR Screen
The hadron storage ring (HSR) of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will use the superconducting magnets from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). However, the beam pipes of these magnets show too large resistive-wall impedance and secondary electron yield to the HSR beams. The planned solution is to install beam screens that feature a thin film of amorphous carbon with low SEY on top of a high RRR copper layer for reduced impedance. This note discusses beam-impedance considerations that impact the EIC HSR beam screen design.
