MOPAB019	Possible Application of Round-to-Flat Hadron Beam Creation Using 3rd Order Coupling Resonances for the Electron-Ion Collider	99
	J. Kallestrup PSI, Villigen PSI, Switzerland X. Gu BNL, Upton, New York, USA
	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-SC0012704 with the U.S. Department of Energy. An Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is planned to be built in Brookhaven National Laboratory with the contribution from Jefferson National Laboratory. To have a high luminosity, both the EIC ion bunch and the EIC electron bunch are designed to be flat during their collision. The existing injector source provides a round beam of width 2.5 um rad transverse emittances. In this paper we investigate the option of dynamically crossing the 2Qx-Qy coupling resonance in order to create a flat-beam with emittance ratio Ex/Ey of up to 4. Furthermore, we explore the possibility of using a pulsed- or AC skew sextupole magnets to achieve a similar effect. Using one of these methods for flat beam creation will help lower the ion beam cooling time.

The Electron Ion Collider will collide hadrons in the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) with ultra-relativistic electrons in the Electron Storage Ring. The HSR design trajectory includes a large radial shift over a large fraction of its circumference, in order to adjust the hadron path length to synchronize collisions over a broad range of hadron energies. The design trajectory goes on-axis through the magnets, crab cavities and other components in the six HSR Insertion Regions. This paper discusses the issues involved and reports on past and future beam experiments in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, which will be upgraded to become the HSR.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-SC0012704 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The Electon Ion Collider (EIC) hadron ring will use the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider storage rings, including the superconducting magnet arcs. The vacuum chambers in the superconducting magnets and the cold mass interconnects were not designed for EIC beams and so must be updated to reduce its resistive-wall heating and to suppress electron clouds. To do so without compromising the EIC luminosity goal, a stainless steel beam screen with co-laminated copper and a thin layer of amorphous carbon will be installed. This paper describes the main requirements that our solution for the hadron ring vacuum chamber needs to satisfy, including impedance, aperture limitations, vacuum, thermal and structural stability, mechanical design, installation and operation. The conceptual design of the beam screen currently under development is introduced.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-SC0012704 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Since the invention of the electron cooling technique its application to cool hadron beams in colliders was considered for numerous accelerator physics projects worldwide. However, achieving the required high-brightness electron beams of required quality and cooling of ion beams in collisions was deemed to be challenging. An electron cooling of ion beams employing a high-energy approach with RF-accelerated electron bunches was recently successfully implemented at BNL. It was used to cool ion beams in both collider rings with ion beams in collision. Electron cooling in RHIC became fully operational during the 2020 physics run and led to substantial improvements in luminosity. This presentation will discuss implementation, optimization and challenges of electron cooling for colliding ion beams in RHIC.

The design of the electron-ion collider EIC to be constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been continuously evolving towards a realistic and robust design that meets all the requirements set forth by the nuclear physics community in the White Paper. Over the past year activities have been focused on maturing the design, and on developing alternatives to mitigate risk. These include improvements of the interaction region design as well as modifications of the hadron ring vacuum system to accommodate the high average and peak beam currents. Beam dynamics studies have been performed to determine and optimize the dynamic aperture in the two collider rings and the beam-beam performance. We will present the EIC design with a focus on recent developments.

THPAB028	Beam-Beam Related Design Parameter Optimization for the Electron-Ion Collider	3808

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The design luminosity goal for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is 1e34 cm^-2s⁻¹. To achieve such a high luminosity, the EIC design adopts high bunch intensities, flat beams at the interaction point (IP) with a small vertical β^*-function, and a high collision frequency, together with crab cavities to compensate the geometrical luminosity loss due to the large crossing angle of 25mrad. In this article, we present our strategies and approaches to obtain the design luminosity by optimizing some key beam-beam related design parameters. Through our extensive strong-strong and weak-strong beam-beam simulations, we found that beam flatness, electron and proton beam size matching at the IP, electron and proton working points, and synchro-betatron resonances arising from the crossing angle collision play a crucial role in proton beam size growth and luminosity degradation. After optimizing those parameters, we found a set of beam-beam related design parameters to reach the design luminosity with an acceptable beam-beam performance.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is aiming at a design luminosity of 1e34 cm^-2s⁻¹. To maintain such a high luminosity, both beams in the EIC need an acceptable beam lifetime in the presence of the beam-beam interaction. For this purpose, we carried out weak-strong element-by-element particle tracking to evaluate the long-term dynamic aperture for the hadron ring lattice design. We improved our simulation code SimTrack to treat some new lattice design features, such as radially offset on-momentum orbits, coordinate transformations in the interaction region, etc. In this article, we will present the preliminary dynamic aperture calculation results with β^*- function scan, radial orbit shift, crossing angle collision, and magnetic field errors.

A regression machine learning algorithm was applied to analyze the operation data of RHIC with electron cooler LEReC during the 2020 physics run. After constructing a black-box surrogate model from the XGBoost algorithm and plotting their partial dependency plots for different operation parameters, we can find the effects of an individual parameter on the RHIC luminosity and optimize it accordingly offline.

However, achieving the required high-brightness electron beams of required quality and cooling of ion beams in collisions was deemed to be challenging. An electron cooling of ion beams employing a high-energy approach with RF-accelerated electron bunches was recently successfully implemented at BNL. It was used to cool ion beams in both collider rings with ion beams in collision. Electron cooling in RHIC became fully operational during the 2020 physics run and led to substantial improvements in luminosity. This presentation will discuss implementation, optimization and challenges of electron cooling for colliding ion beams in RHIC.

The design of the electron-ion collider EIC to be constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been continuously evolving towards a realistic and robust design that meets all the requirements set forth by the nuclear physics community in the White Paper. Over the past year activities have been focused on maturing the design, and on developing alternatives to mitigate risk. These include improvements of the interaction region design as well as modifications of the hadron ring vacuum system to accommodate the high average and peak beam currents. Beam dynamics studies have been performed to determine and optimize the dynamic aperture in the two collider rings and the beam-beam performance. We will present the EIC design with a focus on recent developments.

The design luminosity goal for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is 1e34 cm^-2s⁻¹. To achieve such a high luminosity, the EIC design adopts high bunch intensities, flat beams at the interaction point (IP) with a small vertical β^*-function, and a high collision frequency, together with crab cavities to compensate the geometrical luminosity loss due to the large crossing angle of 25mrad. In this article, we present our strategies and approaches to obtain the design luminosity by optimizing some key beam-beam related design parameters. Through our extensive strong-strong and weak-strong beam-beam simulations, we found that beam flatness, electron and proton beam size matching at the IP, electron and proton working points, and synchro-betatron resonances arising from the crossing angle collision play a crucial role in proton beam size growth and luminosity degradation. After optimizing those parameters, we found a set of beam-beam related design parameters to reach the design luminosity with an acceptable beam-beam performance.

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is aiming at a design luminosity of 1e34 cm^-2s⁻¹. To maintain such a high luminosity, both beams in the EIC need an acceptable beam lifetime in the presence of the beam-beam interaction. For this purpose, we carried out weak-strong element-by-element particle tracking to evaluate the long-term dynamic aperture for the hadron ring lattice design. We improved our simulation code SimTrack to treat some new lattice design features, such as radially offset on-momentum orbits, coordinate transformations in the interaction region, etc. In this article, we will present the preliminary dynamic aperture calculation results with β^*- function scan, radial orbit shift, crossing angle collision, and magnetic field errors.
