  In this paper we report on a first experimental demonstration of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) wake-field suppression by a narrow-gap vacuum chamber. Increase in the beam energy spread and emittance due to emission of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is considered to be a limiting factor a high-current high-brightness beams. At the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) we experimentally demonstrated the suppression of CSR wake-field - both the average energy loss and he energy spread growth – using polished Al plates. Well characterized electron bunches were propagated through a bending magnet with two parallel Al plates with gap controlled between 1 mm to 12 mm. Contrary to some theoretic predictions, our experimental results show that closing the plates significantly reduces both the beam energy loss and CSR-induced beam energy spread. In this paper we present our experimental results and compare then with rigorous analytical theory. These results open a possibility to predict analytically CSR shielding of future high-current high-brightness beams.

Following the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 (Run-10) Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Au+Au run [1], RHIC experiment upgrades sought to improve detector capabilities. In turn, accelerator improvements were made to improve the luminosity available to the experiments for this run (Run-11). These improvements included: a redesign of the stochastic cooling systems for improved reliability; a relocation of “common” RF cavities to alleviate intensity limits due to beam loading; and an improved usage of feedback systems to control orbit, tune and coupling during energy ramps as well as while colliding at top energy. We present an overview of changes to the Collider and review the performance of the collider with respect to instantaneous and integrated luminosity goals.

  Coherent electron cooling (CEC) is considered to be on of potential candidates capable of cooling high-energy, high-intensity hadron beams to very small emittances. It also has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy hadron-hadron and electron-hadron colliders. In a CEC system, a perturbation of the electron density caused by a hadron is amplified and fed back to the hadrons to reduce the energy spread and the emittance of the beam. Following the funding decision by DoE office of Nuclear Physics, we are designing and building coherent electron cooler for a proof-of-principle experiment at RHIC to cool 40 GeV heavy ion beam. In this paper, we describe the layout of the CeC installed into IP2 interaction region at RHIC. We present the design of the CeC cooler and results of preliminary simulations.

  We present the design of a future high-energy high-luminosity electron-hadron collider at RHIC called eRHIC. We plan adding 20 (30) GeV energy recovery linacs to accelerate and to collide polarized and unpolarized electrons with hadrons in RHIC. The center-of-mass energy of eRHIC will range from 30 to 200 GeV. The luminosity exceeding 1034 cm-2s−1 can be achieved in eRHIC using the low-beta interaction region which a 10 mrad crab crossing. A natural staging scenario of step-by-step increases of the electron beam energy by builiding-up of eRHIC's SRF linacs. We report on the eRHIC design and cost estimates for it stages. We discuss the progress of eRHC R&D projects from the polarized electron source to the coherent electron cooling.
