The Medium-energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) proposed by Jefferson Lab is designed to provide high polarization of both colliding beams. One of the unique features of JLab’s MEIC is figure-8 shape of its rings. It allows preservation and control of polarization of all ion species including small-anomalous-magnetic-moment deuterons during their acceleration and storage. The figure-8 design conceptually expands the capability of obtaining polarized high-energy beams in comparison to conventional designs because of its property of having no preferred periodic spin direction. This allows one to control effectively the beam polarization by means of magnetic insertions with small field integrals. We present a complete scheme for preserving the ion polarization during all stages of acceleration and its control in the collider’s experimental straights.

One of the unique features of JLab's Medium-energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) is a full-acceptance detector with a dedicated, small-angle, high-resolution detection system, capable of covering a wide range of momenta (and charge-to-mass ratios) with respect to the original ion beam to enable access to new physics. We present an interaction region design developed with close integration of the detection and beam dynamical aspects. The dynamical aspect of the design rests on a symmetry-based concept for compensation of non-linear effects. The optics and geometry have been optimized to accommodate the detection requirements and to ensure the interaction region's modularity for ease of integration into the collider ring lattices. As a result, the design offers an excellent detector performance combined with the necessary provisions for non-linear dynamical optimization.

A highly longitudinally-polarized (over 70%) electron beam is required by the nuclear physics programme of the Medium Energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) at Jefferson Lab (JLab). To achieve this goal, a highly vertically-polarized electron beam is injected from the CEBAF. The polarization will be vertical in the arcs to avoid spin diffusion, and longitudinal at the collision points. The polarization rotation will be accomplished by using a total of four spin rotators, each of which consists of a set of solenoids and dipoles, placed at the ends of two arcs. The polarization configuration cancels the 1st order spin perturbation in the solenoids for the off-momentum particles and significantly reduces the synchrotron sideband resonances. In order to compensate the net Sokolov-Ternov depolarization effect, especially at higher energies, a continuous injection of a polarized electron beam from the CEBAF is being considered. We consider to perform a moderate spin matching in some key regions to extend the polarization lifetime so that the continuous injection can work more efficiently, while not imposing a burden on the optics design of the collider ring.
