The electron-ion collider (EIC) being developed at JLAB requires a new ion accelerator complex (IAC). The IAC includes a new linac and a booster accelerator facility. The new facility is required for the acceleration of ions from protons to lead for colliding beam experiments with electrons in the EIC storage ring. Originally, we proposed a pulsed linac which is based upon a NC front end, < 5 MeV/u, with a SC section for energies > 5 MeV/u and capable of providing 285 MeV protons and ~100 MeV/u lead ions for injection into the IAC booster. A recent cost optimization study of the IAC suggested that lower injection energy into the booster may reduce the overall project cost with ~120 MeV protons and ~40 MeV/u lead ions. Stronger space charge effects in the booster caused by lower injection energy will be mitigated by the booster design. In this paper we discuss both linac options.
