We present an update on the lattice design of the electron ring of the Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC). The electron and ion collider rings feature a unique figure-8 layout providing optimal conditions for preservation of beam polarization. The rings include two arcs and two intersecting long straight sections containing a low-beta interaction region (IR) with special optics for detector polarimetry, electron beam spin rotator sections, ion beam cooling sections, and RF-cavity sections. Recent development of the electron ring lattice has been focused on minimizing the beam emittance while providing an efficient non-linear chromaticity correction and large dynamic aperture. We describe and compare three lattice designs, from which we determine the best option.

FACET-II will be a new test facility, starting construction in 2018 within the main SLAC Linac. Its purpose is to build on the decades-long experience developed conducting accelerator R&D at SLAC in the areas of advanced acceleration and coherent radiation techniques with high-energy electron and positron beams. The positron system design utilizes an existing W-Re target in Linac Sector 19, driven by 4 nC electrons bunches at 10 GeV. We present the design of a 335 MeV, 21.4 m circumference damping ring required to damp emittance from a modified positron return beamline by a factor of 500. The transverse emittance is calculated to be 6 um-rad, fully coupled, with a bunch length of 4 mm and energy spread 0.06 %, at a bunch charge of 1 nC. The arc magnets need to be especially compact due to tight space constraints (installation will be in the existing SLAC Linac tunnel, Sector 10, with 3 m width available) and were a key design challenge. We present a solution with combined function bend/quadrupole/sextupole magnets which have been modelled in 3D using Opera.
