The ring-ring electron-ion collider eRHIC aims at an electron-ion luminosity in the range from 1032 to 1033cm-2sec-1 over a center-of-mass energy range from 20 to 140GeV. To minimize the technical risk the design is based on existing technologies and beam parameters that have already been achieved routinely in hadron-hadron collisions at RHIC, and in electron-positron collisions elsewhere. This design has evolved considerably over the last two years, and a high level of maturity has been achieved. We will present the latest design status and give an overview of studies towards evaluating the feasibility.

Designing eRHIC Interaction Region (IR) magnets faces special Machine Detector Interface challenges. Based upon HERA-II experience, a fundamental consideration is to avoid excessive background due to synchrotron radiation striking masks and septa in the vicinity of the experiment. Circumventing such radiation is problematic because the colliding beams have quite different rigidities; we must shield the e-beam from hadron IR magnet multi-tesla coil fields. On the outgoing-hadron, i.e. forward IR side, this difficulty is compounded by needing large hadron beam apertures to enable downstream separation and experimental detection of a mix of scattered and produced forward going charged particles and (in the electron-ion case) a wide-spread cone of neutrons. Here we present superconducting magnet designs with combinations of active and passive shielding and Sweet Spot coils to meet these requirements along with the design of a superferric spectrometer dipole, with an integrated cancel coil, that extends the forward experimental acceptance.

Hadron cancer therapy facilities are expanding exponentially as advantages with respect to other radiation treatments are localized energy deposition at the tumor and reduction of side effects. The main problem of expansion is the high cost and large size of the facility. The largest cost is the delivery systems, especially isocentric gantries. We present first, the permanent Halbach gantry with significant reduction in cost and simplified operation as all treatment energies are transported from an accelerator to the patient through the same Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) structure. The superconducting FFAG gantry also transports at one setting all energies required for the cancer treatment of the patient with carbon ions.

At Brookhaven National Laboratory two design efforts are underway: eRHIC and CBETA. eRHIC is a proposed upgrade to the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), which would allow collisions of up to 21 GeV polarized electrons with protons or heavy ions. CBETA is a 150 MeV electron accelerator, aiming to demonstrate essential technology necessary for eRHIC. Both machines employ FFAG arcs and are designated to use permanent magnet material for the required quadrupole magnets. One proposed design is a Halbach magnet; this paper investigates the feasibility of this approach.
