TPAP043 | Electron Cooling of RHIC | 2741 |

We report progress on the R&D program for electron-cooling of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). This electron cooler is designed to cool 100 GeV/nucleon at storage energy using 54 MeV electrons. The electron source will be a superconducting RF photocathode gun. The accelerator will be a superconducting energy recovery linac. The frequency of the accelerator is set at 703.75 MHz. The maximum electron bunch frequency is 9.38 MHz, with bunch charge of 20 nC. The R&D program has the following components: The photoinjector and its photocathode, the superconducting linac cavity, start-to-end beam dynamics with magnetized electrons, electron cooling calculations including benchmarking experiments and development of a large superconducting solenoid. The photoinjector and linac cavity are being incorporated into an energy recovery linac aimed at demonstrating ampere class current at about 20 MeV. A Zeroth Order Design Report is in an advanced draft state, and can be found on the web at http://www.agsrhichome.bnl.gov/eCool/.
Under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy, Contract Number DE-AC02-98CH10886. |

Hefei Light Source (HLS) is mainly composed of an 800 MeV electron storage ring and a 200 MeV Linac functioning as its injector. The RF system has been improved successfully for HLS storage-ring in NSRL Phase II Project. In this paper, the improvement of generator and power transmission system, the development of a new RF cavity and the perfection of RF controls are described in detail. The results and some analyses are presented. |
