As part of the Beam Energy Scan (BES) physics program, RHIC operated in Fixed Target mode at various beam energies in 2020. The fixed target experiment, achieved by scraping the beam halo of the circulating beam on a gold ring inserted in the beam pipe upstream of the experimental detectors, extends the range of the center-of-mass energy for BES. The machine configuration, control of rates, and results of the fixed target experiment operation in 2020 will be presented in this report.

RHIC provided Au-Au collisions at beam energies of 5.75 and 4.59 GeV/nucleon for the physics program in 2020 as a part of the Beam Energy Scan II experiment. The operational experience at these energies will be reported with emphasis on their unique features. These unique features include the addition of a third harmonic RF system to enable a large longitudinal acceptance at 5.75 GeV/nucleon, the application of additional lower frequency cavities for alleviating space charge effects, and the world-first operation of cooling with an RF-accelerated bunched electron beam.

In electron coolers, under certain conditions, a mismatch in either gamma-factors or trajectory angles between an electron and an ion beam can cause the formation of a circular attractor in the ion beam phase space. This leads to coherent excitations of the ions with a small synchrotron or betatron amplitude and results in unusual beam dynamics, including bifurcations. In this paper, we consider the effect of coherent excitations and discuss its implications both for Low Energy RHIC Electron Cooler (LEReC) and for high energy electron coolers proposed for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).

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 Low Energy RHIC electron Cooler (LEReC) is a novel, state-of-the-art, electron accelerator for cooling RHIC ion beams, which was recently built and commissioned. Optimization of cooling with LEReC requires fine-tuning of numerous LEReC parameters. In this work, initial optimization results of using Machine Learning (ML) methods - Bayesian Optimization (BO) and Q-learning are presented. Specially, we focus on exploring the influence of the electron trajectory on the cooling rate. In the first part, simulations are conducted by utilizing a LEReC simulator. The results show that both methods have the capability of deriving electron positions that can optimize the cooling rate. Moreover, BO takes fewer samples to converge than the Q-learning method. In the second part, Bayesian optimization is further trained on the historical cooling data. In the new samples generated by the BO, the percentage of larger cooling rates data is greatly enhanced compared with the original historical data.
