  In order to achieve higher instantaneous and integrated luminosities, the average Au bunch intensity in RHIC has been increased by 30% compared to the preceding Au run. This increase was accomplished by merging bunches in the RHIC injector AGS. Luminosity leveling for one of the two interaction points (IP) with collisions was realized by continuous control of the vertical beam separation. Parallel to RHIC physics operation, the electron beam commissioning of a novel cooling technique with potential application in eRHIC, Coherent electron Cooling as a proof of principle (CeCPoP), was carried out. In addition, a 56 MHz superconducting RF cavity was commissioned and made operational. In this paper we will focus on the RHIC performance during the 2016 Au-Au run.

  The ring-ring version of the eRHIC electron-ion collider design aims at providing electron-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy ranging from 32 to 141 GeV at a luminosity reaching 1033 cm-2 sec-1. This design of the double-ring collider also supports electron-ion collisions with similar electron-nucleon luminosities, and is upgradeable to 1034 cm-2 sec-1 using bunched beam electron cooling of the hadron beam. The baseline luminosities are achievable using existing technologies and beam parameters that have been routinely achieved at RHIC in hadron-hadron collisions or elsewhere in e+e collisions. This minimizes the risk associated with the challenging luminosity goal and is keeping the technical risk of the e-RHIC electron-ion collider low. The latest design status will be presented.

WEA3IO01 Emittance Growth from Modulated Focusing in Bunched Beam Cooling 833

  The low energy RHIC electron cooling (LEReC) project at Brookhaven employs a linac to supply electrons with kinetic energies from 1.6 to 2.6 MeV. Along with cooling the stored ion beam the electron bunches create a coherent space charge field which can cause emittance growth. This is the primary source of heating when the cooling is well tuned. An analytic theory of this process is presented and compared with simulations.

A Low Energy RHIC electron Cooler (LEReC) is presently under construction at BNL to improve the luminosity of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The required electron beam will be provided by a photoemission electron gun and accelerated by a RF linear accelerator. As a result, LEReC will be first bunched beam electron cooler. In addition, this will be the first electron cooler to cool beams under collisions. The achievement of very tight electron beam parameters required for cooling is very challenging and is being addressed by a proper beam transport and engineering design. In this paper, we describe accelerator physics requirements, design considerations and parameters, as well as associated challenges of such electron cooling approach.

WEPOB62 Absolute Energy Measurement of the LEReC Electron Beam 1033

  The goal of future operation of the low energy RHIC Electron Cooling (LEReC) accelerator is to cool the RHIC ion beams. To provide successful cooling, the velocities of the RHIC ion beam and the LEReC electron beam must be matched with 10-4 accuracy. While the energy of ions will be known with the required accuracy, the e-beam energy can have an initial offset as large as 5%. The final setting of the e-beam energy will be performed by observing either the Schottky spectrum of debunched ions co-traveling with the e-beam or the recombination signal. Yet, to start observing such signals one has to set the absolute energy of the electron beam with an accuracy better than 10-2, preferably better than 5·10-3. In this paper we discuss how such accuracy can be reached by utilizing the LEReC 180 degree bend as a spectrometer.
