A high-energy, multiple-pass energy recovery (ER) experiment proposal, using CEBAF, is in preparation by a JLab-BNL collaboration. The experiment will be proposed in support of the electron-ion collider project (EIC) R&D going on at BNL. This new experiment extends the 2003, 1-pass, 1 GeV CEBAF-ER demonstration into a range of energy and recirculation passes commensurate with BNL's anticipated linac-ring EIC parameters. The experiment will study ER and recirculating beam dynamics in the presence of synchrotron radiation, provide opportunity to develop and test multiple-beam diagnostic instrumentation, and can also probe BBU limitations. This paper gives an overview of the ER@CEBAF project, its context and preparations.

The 56 MHz SRF cavity is a superconducting quarter-wave resonator installed in the common section of RHIC. Both beams share the cavity in an interwoven pattern over the entire store. The wake field excited in the cavity is the superposition of the two opposing bunches. This paper will discuss the wake field excited by both beams, and the higher order mode power as a result of the excited field.

To avoid the luminosity loss due to cross-angle collision, crab cavities are being considered for the electron-ion collider designs at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In this article, we study the effects of crab cavities on the proton beam dynamics without and with beam-beam interactions. Dynamic apertures are to be calculated with various parameters of crab cavities. To minimize the distortion from a single crab cavity, harmonic crab cavities are also considered.

Recent developments of the ERL-based design of future high luminosity electron-hadron collider eRHIC focused on balancing technological risks present in the design versus the design cost. As a result a lower risk design has been adopted at moderate cost increase. The modifications include a change of the main linac RF frequency, reduced number of SRF cavity types and modified electron spin transport using a spin rotator. A luminosity-staged approach is being explored with a Nominal design (L ~ 1033 cm-2 s-1) that employs reduced electron current and could possibly be based on classical electron cooling, and then with the Ultimate design (L > 1034 cm-2 s-1) that uses higher electron current and an innovative cooling technique (CeC). The paper describes the recent design modifications, and presents the full status of the eRHIC ERL-based design.

High current Superconducting Radiofrequency (SRF) 5-cell cavities are essential for the proposed ERL-based electron-ion collider eRHIC in BNL. The HOM power generated when a single bunch traverses the cavity is estimated by the corresponding loss factor. Multiple re-circulations through the ERL create a specific bunch pattern. In this case the loss factor can be different than the single bunch loss factor. The HOM power generation can be surveyed in the time and frequency domains. We estimate the average HOM power in the eRHIC 5-cell cavity with different ERL bunch patterns using both methods. We also discuss possible solutions to reduce this HOM power.

eRHIC project is a future electron-hadron collider proposed at BNL. The proposed electron accelerator will generate up to 20 GeV polarized electrons which will collide with proton beams with energy up to 250 GeV. The proposed collider will deliver electron-nucleon luminosity of 1033- 1034 cm-2 ses−1. A superconducting RF (SRF) 5-cell elliptical cavity will be utilized in electron accelerator. This paper presents a study of higher-order modes (HOM) for this 647 MHz SRF cavity. Different types of HOM modes and their BBU instabilities were investigated for frequencies up to 3.2 GHz. Threshold current values of beam breakup are estimated by GBBU code. Further improvement on this threshold current has been explored and discussed.

Crab crossing is an essential concept in the newly proposed colliders or the upgrades. It enables crossing angles to achieve lower β* without a loss of luminosity. The frequency of the crab cavity shall be chosen with various considerations, including the luminosity degradation, emittance growth due to synchro-beta resonances and RF noises. We use the figure of merits and related simulation to establish the frequency scaling relations with important beam parameters, which guide the choice of crab cavity frequency for new designs.

The ERL-ring eRHIC adopts the electron accelerator design of a multi-pass energy recovery linac (ERL), with fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) recirculating passes. To ensure the beam quality in the accelerating and decelerating stage and the energy recovery efficiency, detailed start-to-end simulation is required to evaluate the various beam dynamics effects, such as synchrotron radiation, wake fields, coherent synchrotron radiation. In this paper, we present the eRHIC ERL start-to-end simulation strategy with various simulation codes and the current status.
