  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.

  Highly resolved numerical simulations of the modulator, the first section of the proposed coherent electron cooling (CEC) device, have been performed using the code SPACE. The beam parameters for simulations are relevant to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Numerical convergence has been studied using various numbers of macro-particles and mesh refinements of computational domain. A good agreement of theory and simulations has been obtained for the case of stationary and moving ions in uniform electron clouds with realistic distribution of thermal velocities. The main result of the paper is the prediction of modulation processes for ions with reference and off-reference coordinates in realistic Gaussian electron bunches with quadrupole field.

The Coherent Electron Cooling Proof-of-Principle (CeC PoP) experiment employs a high-gradient CW photo-injector based on the superconducting RF cavity. Such guns operating at high accelerating gradients promise to revolutionize many sciences and applications. They can establish the basis for super-bright monochromatic X-ray and gamma ray sources, high luminosity hadron colliders, nuclear waste transmutation or a new generation of microchip production. In this paper we report on our operation of a superconducting RF electron gun with a high accelerating gradient at the CsK2Sb photo-cathode (i.e. ~ 20 MV/m) generating a record-high bunch charge (above 4 nC). We give short description of the system and then detail our experimental results.

Coherent electron cooling is new cooling technique to be tested at BNL. Presently we are in the commissioning stage of the accelerator system. In this paper we present status of various systems and achieved beam parameters as well as operational experience. Near term future plans are also discussed.

  In 2016 run of Coherent Electron Cooling, we have successfully tested the performance of a number of K2CsSb cathodes. These cathodes with QE of 6%-10% were fabricated in Instrumentation Division, a few miles away, transported to RHIC tunnel under UHV conditions, attached to the CeC gun, kept in storage, and inserted in the gun as needed. A maximum bunch charge of 4.6 nC was generated in the gun when the QE was 1.8 %. With careful conditioning at increasing accelerating fields, it was possible to maintain the QE of several cathodes for more than a week. For the cathodes that experienced degradation, the primary cause was multipacting when the power into the gun was increased. In the initial runs, the entire 20 mm substrate face was coated with the cathode material causing cathode induced multipacting. For subsequent measurements, the substrate was masked to coat only the central 9 mm of the substrate. By optimizing the procedure for boosting the power to the gun and covering all viewports to minimize dark current, we were able to minimize QE degradation. In this paper we discuss the cathode preparation, transfer to the gun and operational experience with the cathodes in 112 MHz gun.
