A new type of electron-ion beam overlap monitor has been developed for the RHIC electron lenses. Low energy electrons acquire high energies in small impact parameter Coulomb scattering collisions with relativistic ions. Such electrons can traverse thin vacuum windows and be conveniently detected in air. Counting rates are maximized to optimize beam overlap. Operational experience with the electron backscattering detectors during the 2015 p-p RHIC run will be presented. Other possible real-time non-invasive beam-diagnostic applications of high energy Coulomb-scattered electrons will be briefly discussed.

  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.

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.
