Funding: Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. In the current baseline design of the Medium-energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) proposed by Jefferson Lab, a green field ion injector complex is composed of several ion sources, one linac with charge stripper, and one booster ring. The original linac design contains a short warm front end and a long SRF section with QWR/HWR cavities, capable of accelerating H− to 285 MeV or Pb67+ to 100 MeV/u. Such a linac is a major cost driver of the project, despite that the required duty factor of this linac is very low. In this paper, we will compare alternative options for this ion linac, including the possibilities to lower the linac energy and choose a warm linac. |
