A new type of amplifier, plasma cascade amplifier (PCA) has been proposed for a coherent electron cooling (CeC) system. Previously, the 1D model for PCA assumes that the transverse distribution of the density perturbation in the electrons is uniform and consequently, the plasma frequency does not depend on the wavelength of the perturbation. This assumption is valid if the longitudinal wavelength of the beam frame is much shorter than the transverse width of perturbation. In this work, we explore the PCI gain at a long wavelength by assuming the perturbation in the electron density has a non-uniform transverse profile. Specifically, we solve the 3D Poisson equation for given charge distribution (longitudinal sinusoidal, transversely Gaussian, or Beer-can), average the electric field over the transverse plane, and then apply it to 1D Vlasov equation. Similar to the previous calculation, the Vlasov equation can be reduced to a Hill’s equation but the plasma frequency now depends on the longitudinal wavelength of the density perturbation in the electrons. By numerically solving Hill’s equation, we obtain the gain of a PCA and compare it with the results from 3D SPACE simulations.

During the estimates of impedance budget for the Electron Storage Ring (ESR) of Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), various codes, including GdfidL, CST and ECHO3D, have been used to calculate the short-range wake-fields due to the vacuum components. The ECHO 3D code demonstrates more reliable results for the tapered type of structures rather than the GdfidL code, where the stepsize needs to be dramatically decreased to achieve a high-performance calculation. Impedance of the following components are discussed and compared in details: Interaction Region (IR) chamber, bellows, and synchrotron radiation mask (flange absorber).

Coherent electron cooling (CeC) is a novel technique for rapidly cooling high-energy, high-intensity hadron beams. A plasma cascade amplifier (PCA) has been proposed for the CeC experiment in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The cooling rate of CeC experiment with PCA has been predicted in 3D start-to-end CeC simulations using code SPACE.

Plasma cascade amplifier (PCA) is an advanced design of amplifier for the coherent electron cooling (CeC) experiment in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Working principle of PCA is the new plasma cascadeμbunching instability occurring in electron beams propagating along a straight trajectory. PCA is cost-effective as it does not require separating electron and hadron beams. SPACE, a parallel, relativistic 3D electromagnetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) code, has been used for simulation studies of PCA.

A new high-luminosity Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is being designed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Stable operation of the electron beam at an average current of 2.5A within 1100 bunches with a 7mm bunch length is one of the challenging tasks in achieving an electron-proton luminosity of 1033-1034 cm-2 ses−1 range. Beam induced heating, short-range and long-range wakefield analysis is discussed for some of the vacuum components of the electron storage ring (ESR), the hadron storage ring (HSR), and the rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) and as well as the impact of the collective effects on the beam stability.

The interaction region chamber has a complex geometry at the crossing location of electron and proton beam pipes. In the direction of the electron beam, the pipe is designed in a way to avoid joints with cavity characteristics. The horizontal slot on the upstream side and the tapered transition on the downstream side are applied to minimize the IR chamber contribution to the total impedance of the electron ring and to avoid generating Higher Order Modes and heating-related issues. The synchrotron radiation mask is included to protect the IR chamber from synchrotron radiation without significant aperture reduction. In the direction of the proton beam, the main area for optimization is the transition area right after the detector.
