At the interaction point of the Medium Energy Electron Ion Collider (MEIC) facility the luminosity of 1033cm-2s-1 will be achieved through the collision of counter rotating beams of 0.5A ions and 3A electrons at 750MHz frequency. Formation of ion beams at MEIC is carried out in the Ion Accelerator Complex (IAC) comprising of a linac, pre-booster ring, booster ring, and a collider ring. We will describe the scheme proposed for the formation of ion beams at MEIC facility from the point of view of longitudinal beam dynamics. The proposed scheme minimizes losses due to space charge effects at low energies and needs moderate RF requirements already achieved at other existing facilities. Simulation studies have been conducted to verify the proposed scheme. We will present the results of these simulation studies.

  The Fast Multipole Method (FMM) has been identified as one of the ten most significant numerical algorithms discovered in the 20th century. The FMM guarantees finding fast solutions to many problems in science, such as calculating Coulomb potentials among large number of particles by reducing memory footprint and run time while attaining very high accuracy levels. One important practical issue that we have to solve in implementing a FMM algorithm is organizing large amounts of data, also called data structuring. The non-adaptive FMM is appropriate when the particles are uniformly distributed while the adaptive FMM is most efficient when the distribution is non-uniform. In practice, we typically encounter highly non-uniform 3D particle distributions. This paper summarizes our implementation of a 3D adaptive FMM algorithm data structure setup for non-uniform particle distributions.

We present a space charge code that is self consistent, massively parallelizeable, and requires very little communication between the computer nodes; making the calculation almost embarrassingly parallel. This method is implemented in the code COSY Infinity where the differential algebras used in this code are important to the algorithm's proper functioning. The method works by calculating the self consistent charge distribution using the statistical moments of the test particles, and converting them into polynomial series coefficients. These coefficients are combined with differential algebraic integrals to form the potential, and electric fields. The result is a transfer map which contains the effects of space charge. This method allows for massive parallelization since its statistics based solver doesn’t require any binning of the particles, and only requires a vector containing the partial sums of the statistical moments for the different nodes to be passed. All other calculations are done independently. The resulting maps can be used to analyze the system using normal form analysis, as well as advance particles in numbers and at speeds that were previously impossible.

This paper will report the recent progress in the conceptual design of MEIC, a high luminosity medium energy polarized ring-ring electron-ion collider at Jefferson lab. The topics and achievements that will be covered are design of the ion large booster and the ERL-circulator-ring-based electron cooling facility, optimization of chromatic corrections and dynamic aperture studies, schemes and tracking simulations of lepton and ion polarization in the figure-8 collider ring, and the beam-beam and electron cooling simulations. A proposal of a test facility for the MEIC electron cooler will also be discussed.
