EIC Beam Dynamics Combines the challenges of high performance e+e- colliders and hadron colliders Adds EIC specific beam dynamic aspects JLEIC and eRHIC have common beam dynamic challenges Topics Discussed Electron cloud effect (eRHIC) (also important for SuperKEK-B, LHC HL, .) Coherent single bunch instabilities (eRHIC, JLEIC) mostly for eRHIC Electron beam heating (eRHIC, JLEIC) mostly for eRHIC Coupled bunch instabilities (eRHIC, JLEIC) Electron-Ion Beam-beam effects (eRHIC, JLEIC), EIC specific aspect Beam dynamics with Crab Cavities (eRHIC, JLEIC), also relevant for LHC Dynamic aperture (eRHIC, JLEIC) relevant for all high performance colliders and light sources Polarized beam storage (eRHIC, JLEIC) Acceleration of polarized beams (eRHIC, JLEIC) Intrabeam Scattering and electron cooling (JLEIC, eRHIC) This suggests strong collaboration between the accelerator labs on beam dynamcs, in particular, but not limited to BNL-JLAB collaborations, collaborations with other labs including European labs expted to be mutually beneficial Planned Meetings ICFA Miniworkshop on dynamic aperture, Beijing, September 2017 Beam-Beam Workshop LBL, Spring 2018
Electron Cooling of HADRON Beams Two presentations: Overview of Hadron Cooling techniques by Vadim Ptitsyn Specific presentation on Bunched Electron Cooling (Choice for JEIC design) by Yuhong Zhang Need for Cooling EIC hadron beam are subject to Intrabeam-scattering (Lorentz boosted bunch internal Coulomb scattering) This does not allow to reduce the beam size (beam emittance) to the extend required for high luminosity There is consensus that high luminosity in an EIC collider depends on the feasibility of strong hadron cooling Strong means: Cooling times < 1h Classical methods such as microwave stochastic cooling are insufficient (cooling times ~5- 10 hours)
Cooling Overview Standard methods: Classical electron cooling with DC electron beam from an electro-static accelerato is useful only at low energy of a few GeV (gamma<10), may be used for precooling of EIC beam Cooling rates greatly improved by solenoidal fields in cooling channel Microwave stochastic cooling, works at all energies, but cooling rated limited by bandwidth of pickups, amplifiers and kickers of <30 GHz Bunched Beam Electron Cooling Electrons accelerated in RF structures, reach larger energies (multi MeVs electron multi GeV hadron beam) Is implemented and will be used in RHIC FY18/19 low energy run Solenoidal fields make cooling more powerful, but need to produce fields in solenoidal fields, but accelerations is without solenoid complicated beam transport, extreme alignment requirement on solenoid Cooling rate still scales with 5/2 need very large electron (amps) currents to cool EIC hadron beam requires multi-turn cooler rings and ERL for energy recovery to make it affortable (JLEIC Cooling Scheme) Novel techniques: Coherent Electron cooling, Like stochastic cooling, but use electron beam as pick-up and amplifier, FEL based amplifier, so far exists only on paper and in simulation, demonstration experiment underway Microbunching cooling, same principle, but use space charge and wakefields and amplifying mechanism (eRHIC Cooling Scheme) Optical stochastic cooling (use photons as pick-ups and kickers) Lively discussions on Hadron Cooling feasibility R&D Efforts for EIC
Technology Part Superconducting Magnets Superconducting RF
Superconducting Magnet Technology Superconducting magnet technology is vital for feasibility of EIC designs: Superconducting long dipoles for JLEIC (energy range) Superconducting large aperture, high gradient quadrupoles for IR design
Superconducting Magnet Technology State of the Art Nb Ti Alloy require temperatures below 10 K (usually 4.5 K) Is very mature technology (large magnet systems like Tevatron, HERA, RHIC, LHC ..) Current density limiting Jc <4000Amm-2 @ 4.2 K , B <~5T Strong Dependence of Jc on external magnetic Field Field strength for accelerator magnets practically limited at around 7 T (LHC) New techniques such as direct winding (developed for HERA, used at BEPC-II, SuperKEKB..) allows for large aperture, very high field quality but moderately high fields
Nb3Sn similar maximum current density but shifted to higher values of magnetic field B<15 T Allows in principle magnets up to 15 T (FCC magnet concept) Technology very cumbersome (accelerator community spent 4 decades in developing the techniques) Material is pulverized or in thin wire form, needs to be cured at high temperature after which is become brittle and extremely hard to handle Jc depends on pressure: sophistocated mechanical design to manage pre-pressure and operating pressure, quench propagation critical Technology is well developed now, should be well suited for EIC IR magnet (prototype in Collaboration JLAB/BNL, dedicated DOE funding underway)
HTS HTS Available since end of the 80-ties, Bi and Yttrium compounds are best suited Jc very insensible to external magnetic fields: allows in principle magnets with B>20T Even more difficult to wind coils (Bi in thin layers on tape YBCO in power form) needs decades of development to go
HTS Technology Challenges Bi2Ca2CuSr2O8+x (Bi-2212) YBa2Cu3O7- (YBCO) Process W&R (900C, pure Oxygen) Sensitive temperature variations; high pressure requires for high Jc Can use Rutherford cables (routinely fabricated since ~2000) W (pre-reacted tape) Scalability (current) Difficult; Roebel cable under investigation Winding Can use existing processes Challenge: minimum bend radius, no hard-way bends Dep. on field orientation Isotropic Highly anisotropic; being addressed Strain dependence Degradation starts at 60 Mpa in present wires; little reversible regime expected Reversibility improving; transverse pressure limitations
Superconducting RF A large number of different superconducting RF is required for each of the EIC solutions Systems being developed are benefitting from the SRF development of the linear collider development (TESLA, ILC) Both eRHIC (ring-ring design) and JLab EIC (JLEIC) are electron-ion colliders designed to deliver high luminosities up to above 1034/cm2/s for meeting the requirements of the EIC science program To achieve this luminosity goal, both designs chose ampere level high beam current electron/ion collider rings, with short bunch length, high bunch reprate, and low emittance (hadron cooling needed). The beam current in the electron ring of both designs is mainly set by the 10MW administrative limit in synchrotron radiation power. The parameters will be similar to the B-factory storage rings (PEP-II and super KEKB), with more challenges from wide electron energy range. Short bunch length (cm level) is unprecedented in the ion ring and will be a challenge for the RF system. Strong hadron cooling requires high current (Ampere level) low energy (20-140MeV) electron beam. Crabbing in hadron collider requires a strong crabbing RF voltage and is unproven. Both EIC teams collaborate closely with HiLumi LHC crab cavity development. Both designs need to inherit some real estates from existing accelerators. Both designs are still evolving and becoming more self-consistent

Conclusion Results presented and discussed at Accelerator workshop demonstrate considerable maturing of EIC designs There are many communalities in design feature and in required accelerator technology JLAB and BNL are agreeing that it will be mutually beneficial to collaborate on common aspects of both designs There are many synergies with accelerator projects elsewhere Collaboration with other US and non-US institutions are highly encouraged and will be very welcome
