The Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) 5-cell, 703 MHz superconducting RF accelerating cavity has been installed in the high-current energy recovery linac (ERL) experiment. This experiment will function as a proving ground for the development of high-current machines in general and is particularly targeted at beam development for an electron-ion collider (eRHIC). The cavity performed well in vertical tests, demonstrating gradients of 20 MV/m and a Q0 of 10¹0. Here we will present its performance in the horizontal tests, and discuss technical issues involved in its implementation in the ERL.

All physics stores at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are now established using simultaneous orbit, tune, coupling, and energy feedback during beam injection, acceleration to full beam energies, during the “beta-squeeze” for establishing small beam sizes at the interaction points, and during removal of separation bumps to establish collisions. In this report we describe the major changes made to enable these achievements. The proof-of-principle for additional chromaticity feedback will also be presented.

An ampere-class 20 MeV superconducting energy recovery linac (ERL) is under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for testing of concepts relevant for high-energy coherent electron cooling and electron-ion colliders. One of the goals is to demonstrate an electron beam with high charge per bunch (~5 nC) and low normalized emittance (~5 mm-mrad) at an energy of 20 MeV. A flexible lattice for the ERL loop provides a test bed for investigating issues of transverse and longitudinal instabilities and diagnostics for CW beam. A superconducting 703 MHz RF photo-injector is considered as an electron source for such a facility. We will start with a straight pass (gun/cavity/beam stop) test for gun performance studies. Later, we will install and test a novel injection line concept for emittance preservation in a lower-energy merger. Here we present the status and our plans for construction and commissioning of this facility.

As part of the search for a phase transition or critical point on the QCD phase diagram, an energy scan including 5 different energy settings was performed during the 2010 RHIC heavy ion run. While the top beam energy for heavy ions is at 100 GeV/n and the lowest achieved energy setpoint was significantly below RHICs injection energy of approximately 10 GeV/n, we also provided beams for data taking in a medium energy range above injection energy and below top beam energy. This paper reviews RHIC experience and challenges for RHIC medium energy operations that produced full experimental data sets at beam energies of 31.2 GeV/n and 19.5 GeV/n.
