polarized nucleon and nuclear (A = 2-208) RHIC beams.

50-250 GeV polarized protons
up to 100 GeV/n gold ions
up to 167 GeV/n polarized 3He ions
Two accelerator design options developed in parallel (2004 Zeroth-Order Design Report):


ERL-based design (“Linac-Ring”; presently most promising design):
 Superconducting energy recovery linac (ERL) for the polarized electron beam.
33 cm-2s-1 with potential for even higher luminosities.
 Peak luminosity of 2.6  10
 R&D for a high-current polarized electron source needed to achieve the design goals.
Ring-Ring option:
 Electron storage ring for polarized electron or positron beam.
33 cm-2s-1.
 Technologically more mature with peak luminosity of 0.47  10
Decision on what to build to supply polarized leptons will be driven by a number of
considerations, among them experimental requirements, cost and timeline.

eRHIC Ion Beam



RHIC is the world’s only collider of high-energy heavy ion (for now) and
polarized proton beams.
100 GeV proton beams with ~ 65% polarization operational
First test at 250 GeV reached ~ 45% polarization
First high energy stochastic cooling demonstrated in RHIC
Electron cooling under development for RHIC II (x10 luminosity). Also
needed/beneficial for eRHIC with same requirements as RHIC II
Presently RHIC operates with 111 bunches of 1.4 x 1011 protons. Successful test
of 111 bunches of 3 x 1011 protons at injection. eRHIC design is 166 bunches of
2 x 1011 protons.
Development under way for polarized 3He beams from the new RHIC ion source


Yellow ion ring makes 3m vertical excursion.


superconducting magnets.


point no electron-ion collisions allowed.

Linac-ring: larger electron beta*; relaxed aperture limits ; allows round beam collision

tolerances and the cavity protection systems.
 Development of compact recirculation loop magnets
 Design, build and test a prototype of a small gap magnet and its vacuum chamber.
 Evaluation of electron-ion beam-beam effects, including the kink instability and e-beam
disruption
 Realistic beam-beam simulations.

Other R&D
R&D for specific experimental programs:
High precision ion beam polarimeter

R&D to further increase eRHIC luminosity:
Increase number of ion bunches from 166 to 333

• Injection kicker development
• Higher current of ERL
Optical stochastic cooling of high energy proton beam
• Proof of principal experiment proposed at Bates
Beam-beam compensation
• The focusing effect of the colliding electron beam on the ion beam could be
compensated with ion-ion collisions

Summary
Two versions for eRHIC have been developed:
Ring-ring: lower risk (ready to go), lower luminosity performance, 10 GeV e
Linac-ring: higher risk (new concept), higher luminosity performance, 20 GeV e
Preliminary cost estimate is similar. Decision on what to build to supply
polarized leptons will be driven by a number of considerations, among them
experimental requirements, cost and timeline.
Modest R&D over the next five years will reduce technical risk, especially for
linac-ring option.
There are phasing possibilities for both options.
