  The BNL SRF gun cavity was operated well at CW mode up to 2 MV. However, the performance suffered due to multipacting in the quarter-wavelength choke-joint. A new multipacting-free cathode stalk was designed and will be conditioned. This paper will describes RF and thermal design of new cathode stalk and conditioning results.

The Coherent electron Cooling Proof-of-Principle (CeC PoP) experiment at BNL includes a short electron linac. During Phase I a 112 MHz superconducting RF photoemission gun and two 500 MHz normal conducting bunching cavities were installed and commissioned. The paper describes the Phase I linac layout and presents commissioning results for the cavities and associated RF, cryogenic and other sub-systems.

The Low Energy RHIC electron Cooling (LEReC) is under development at BNL to improve RHIC luminosity at low energies. It will consist of a short electron linac and two cooling sections, one for blue and one for yellow beams. For the first stage of the project, LEReC-1, we will to install a 704 MHz superconducting RF cavity and two normal conducting cavities operating at 704 MHz and 2.1 GHz. The SRF cavity will boost the electron beam energy up to 2 MeV. The warm cavities will be used to correct the energy spread introduced in the SRF cavity. The paper describes layouts of the SRF and RF systems, their parameters and status.

A 5-cell SRF cavity operating at 704 MHz will be used for the Coherent Electron Cooling Proof of Principle (CeC PoP) system currently under development for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The CeC PoP experiment will demonstrate the ability of relativistic electrons to cool a single bunch of heavy ions in RHIC. The cavity will accelerate 2 MeV electrons from a 112 MHz SRF gun up to 22 MeV. Novel mechanical designs, including the helium vessel, vacuum vessel, tuner mechanism, and FPC are presented. This paper provides an overview of the design, the project status and schedule of the 704 MHz 5-cell SRF for the CeC PoP experiment.

A 56 MHz superconducting RF cavity has been designed, fabricated and installed in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The cavity operated at 4.4 K with a “quiet helium source” to isolate the cavity from environmental acoustic noise. The cavity is a beam driven quarter wave resonator. It is detuned and damped during injection and acceleration cycles and is brought to operation only at store energy. For a first test operation, the cavity voltage was stabilized at 300 kV with full beam current. Within both Au + Au and asymmetrical Au + He3 collisions, luminosity improvement was detected from direct measurement, and the hourglass effect was reduced. One higher order mode (HOM) coupler was installed on the cavity. We report in this paper on our measurement of a broadband HOM spectrum excited by the Au beam.

In the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) 100 GeV polarized proton run in 2015[1], two electron lenses [2] were used for the first time to partially compensate for the head-on beam-beam effect. Here, we describe the design of the current electron lens, detailing the hardware modifications made after the 2014 commissioning run with heavy ions. A new electron gun with 15-mm diameter cathode is characterized. The electron beam transverse profile was measured using a YAG screen and fitted with a Gaussian distribution. During operation, the overlap of the electron and proton beams was achieved using the electron backscattering detector in conjunction with an automated orbit control program.
