Status of the R&D towards electron cooling of RHIC

Abstract: The physics interest in a luminosity upgrade of RHIC requires the development of a cooling-frontier facility. Detailed calculations were made of electron cooling of the stored RHIC beams. This has been followed by beam dynamics simulations to establish the feasibility of creating the necessary electron beam. The electron beam accelerator will be a superconducting Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). An intensive experimental R&D program engages the various elements of the accelerator, as described by 24 contributions … Show more

“…Providing cooling at even higher energies would be easier with RF acceleration of electron beam, and thus using bunched electron beam for cooling. Significant efforts were devoted to explore various aspects of such bunched electron beam cooling as part of R&D of high-energy electron cooling for RHIC [2,3]. However, experimental studies of such cooling are still lacking.…”

“…R&D ERL, shown in Fig.1, will serve as a test-bed for future RHIC projects -RHIC II with ERL-based electron cooling [1,2] and 10-to-20 GeV ERL for lepton-ion collider eRHIC [3,4]. It will also address more general issues expanding capabilities of ERLS: from novel SRF injectors [5], high current and high brightness beam ERL operation [6] and highly flexibility lattice [7,8] to enable covering a vast operational parameter space from nonachromatic lattice to achromatic large range tunability of of R 12 , R 34 and R 56 parameters.…”

“…The electron cooler for the proposed luminosity upgrade of RHIC [4,13] represents a significant design challenge due to the high energy of the ion beam. While lower energy ion beams can be cooled by continuous electron beams, the 55 MeV electron beam needed by RHIC must be a bunched beam, with consequently higher temperature electrons.…”
