TUPTY047 | ERL with Non-Scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Lattice for eRHIC | 2120 |
|
||
Funding: Work performed under Contract Number DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the auspices of the US Department of Energy. The proposed eRHIC electron-hadron collider uses a "non-scaling FFAG" lattice to recirculate 16 turns of different energy through just two beamlines located in the RHIC tunnel. This paper presents lattices for these two FFAGs that are optimised for low magnet field and to minimise total synchrotron radiation across the energy range. The higher number of recirculations in the FFAG allows a shorter linac (1.322GeV) to be used, drastically reducing cost, while still achieving a 21.2GeV maximum energy to collide with one of the existing RHIC hadron rings at up to 250GeV. eRHIC uses many cost-saving measures in addition to the FFAG: the linac operates in energy recovery mode, so the beams also decelerate via the same FFAG loops and energy is recovered from the interacted beam. All magnets will constructed from NdFeB permanent magnet material, meaning chillers and large magnet power supplies are not needed. This paper also describes a smaller prototype ERL-FFAG accelerator that will test all of these technologies in combination to reduce technical risk for eRHIC. |

TUPWI049 | Polarized Proton Beam for eRHIC | 2360 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. RHIC has provided polarized proton collisions from 31 GeV to 255 GeV in past decade. To preserve polarization through numerous depolarizing resonances through the whole accelerator chain, harmonic orbit correction, partial snakes, horizontal tune jump system and full snakes have been used. In addition, close attentions have been paid to betatron tune control, orbit control and beam line alignment. The polarization of 60% at 255 GeV has been delivered to experiments with 1.8×1011 bunch intensity. For the eRHIC era, the beam brightness has to be maintained to reach the desired luminosity. Since we only have one hadron ring in the eRHIC era, existing spin rotator and snakes can be converted to six snake configuration for one hadron ring. With properly arranged six snakes, the polarization can be maintained at 70% at 250 GeV. This paper summarizes the effort and plan to reach high polarization with small emittance for eRHIC. |

TUPWI060 | RHIC Polarized Proton-Proton Operation at 100 GeV in Run 15 | 2384 |
|
||
The first part of RHIC Run 15 consisted of nine weeks of polarized proton on proton collisions at a beam energy of 100 GeV at two interaction points. In this paper we discuss several of the upgrades to the collider complex that allowed for improved performance this run. The largest effort consisted of commissioning of the electron lenses, one in each ring, which are designed to compensate one of the two beam-beam interactions experienced by the proton bunches. The e-lenses therefore raise the per bunch intensity at which luminosity becomes beam-beam limited. A new lattice was designed to create the phase advances necessary for a functioning e-lens which also has an improved off-momentum dynamic aperture relative to previous runs. In order to take advantage of the new, higher intensity limit without suffering intensity driven emittance deterioration, other features were commissioned including a continuous transverse bunch-by-bunch damper in RHIC and a double harmonic capture scheme in the Booster. Other high intensity protections include improvements to the abort system and the installation of masks to intercept beam lost due to abort kicker pre-fires. | ||

THPF046 | Operation of the RHIC Injector Chain with Ions from EBIS | 3804 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Since 2012 gold and all other ions for the RHIC injector chain have been provided by an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS). The source is followed by an RFQ, a short Linac, and a 30 m transport line. These components replace the Tandem van de Graaff and associated 840 m transfer line. They provide ions at 2 MeV per nucleon (kinetic energy) for injection into the AGS Booster. The setup and operation of Booster and AGS with various ions from the new source are reviewed. |
