  The eRHIC is a high luminosity lepton-hadron collider planned to be built in Brookhaven National Lab, Upton, New York, USA. The lepton machine of eRHIC is a completely newly designed machine complex to provide highly polarized lepton beams at up to 10 GeV energy for the high luminosity lepton-hadron collisions. This paper decribes major issues of collective effects in this lepton storage ring. Besides conventional impedance-driven instabilities, the electron cloud effects in positron operation and fast beam-ion effects in electron operation are of major conserns. The analytical and numerical estimats for major collective effects are made with different machine operation conditions.

  The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has improved its luminosity performance significantly in the course of the first three physics runs. A number of special techniques for the operation of the rf systems have been developed to facilitate these improvements. Herein we describe these techniques, which include: an ultra low-noise rf source for the 197 MHz storage cavities; synchronization of the two rings during acceleration (including crossing the transition energy) to avoid spurious collisions on the ramp, which modulate the beam-beam tune shift; a frequency shift switch-on technique for transferring bunches from the acceleration to the storage rf systems; installation of dedicated 200 MHz cavities to provide longitudinal Landau damping on the ramp, and automated corrections to longitudinal injection parameters to minimize emittance growth.

  After an exploratory phase, during which a number of beam parameters were varied, the RHIC experiments now demand high luminosity to study heavy ion collisions in detail. Presently RHIC operates routinely above its design luminosity. In the first 4 weeks of its current operating period (Run-4) the machine has delivered more integrated luminosity that during the 14 weeks of the last gold-gold operating period (Run-2). We give an overview of the changes that increased the instantaneous luminosity and luminosity lifetime, raised the reliability, and improved the operational efficiency.

  Longitudinally polarized proton beams have been accelerated, stored and collided at 100GeV in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to study spin effects in the hadronic reactions. The essential equipment includes four Siberian snakes, eight spin rotators and a fast relative polarimeters in each of the two RHIC rings as well as local polarimeters at the STAR and PHENIX detectors. This paper summarizes the performance of RHIC as a polarized proton collider.

  The paper reviews the progress made lately in the design of eRHIC, proposed future electron-ion collider on the basis of the existing RHIC machine. The eRHIC aims to provide collisions of electrons and positrons on ions and protons in center mass energy range of 25-70 GeV. The goal luminosities are in 1032-1033 1/(s*cm2) values for e-p and in 1030-1031 1/(s*cm2) values for e-Au collisions. An essential design requirement is to provide longitudinally polarized beams of electrons and protons (and, possibly lighter ions) at the collision point. The eRHIC ZDR has been recently developed which considers various aspects of the accelerator design. An electron accelerator, which delivers about 0.5A polarized electron beam current in the electron energy range of 5 to 10 GeV, should be constructed at the BNL near existing ion rings of the RHIC collider and should intersect an ion ring at least in one of the available ion ring interaction regions. In order to reach the luminosity goals some upgrades in ion rings also would be required. Ways to reach lower beam emmittances (electron cooling) and higher beam intensities have to be realized.

  A non-scaling FFAG lattice design to accelerate electrons from 3.2 to 10 GeV is described. This is one of the possible solutions for the future electron-ion collider (eRHIC) at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collier (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). This e-RHIC proposal requires acceleration of the low emittance electrons up to energy of 10 GeV. To reduce a high cost of the full energy super-conducting linear accelerator an alternative approach with the FFAG is considered. The report describes the 1277 meters circumference non-scaling FFAG ring. The Courant-Snyder functions, orbit offsets, momentum compaction, and path length dependences on momentum during acceleration are presented.

  The mechanism of electron multipacting in long bunched proton machine has been quantitatively described by the electron energy gain and electron motion. Some important parameters related to electron multipacting are investigated in detail. It is proved that multipacting is sensitive to beam intensity, longitudinal beam profile shape and transverse beam size. Agreement is achieved among our analysis, simulation and experiment.  
MOPLT177 Stochastic Cooling Power Requirements 941

  A practical obstacle for stochastic cooling in high-energy colliders is the large amount of power needed for the cooling system. This paper discusses the cooling power needed for the longitudinal cooling process. Based on the coasting-beam Fokker-Planck equation, we analytically derived the optimum cooling rate and cooling power for a beam of uniform distribution and a cooling system of linear gain function. The results indicate that the usual back-of-envelope formula over-estimated the cooling power by a factor of the mixing factor $M$. On the other hand, the scaling laws derived from the coasting-beam Fokker-Planck approach agree with those derived from the bunched-beam Fokker-Planck approach if the peak beam intensity is used as the effective coasting-beam intensity. A longitudinal stochastic cooling system of 4 – 8 GHz bandwidth in RHIC can effectively counteract intrabeam scattering, preventing the beam from escaping the RF bucket becoming debunched around the ring.

  Beam induced pressure rise remains an intensity limit at the RHIC for both heavy ion and polarized proton operations. The beam injection pressure rise at warm sections has been diagnosed due to electron cloud effect. In addition, pressure rise of heavy ion operation at the beam transition has caused experiment background problem in deuteron-gold run, and it is expected to take place in gold-gold run at high intensities. This type of pressure rise is related to beam momentum spread, and the electron cloud seems not dominant. Extensive approaches for both diagnosis and looking-for-remedies are undergoing in the current gold operation, RUN 4. Results of beam scrubbing, NEG pipe in RHIC ring, beam scraping test of ion desorption, beam momentum effect at the transition, beam gap effect, solenoid effect, and NEG pipe ion desorption test stand will be presented.

  A 1.5-GeV Fixed-Field Alternating-Gradient (FFAG) Accelerator has been recently proposed as a new injector to the Alternating-Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). It is being considered as a replacement of the present 1.5-GeV AGS Booster. The substitution will enhance the performance of the AGS accelerator facility in a variety of ways. It would still allow acceleration of all hadronic particles: protons, and heavy-ions. The major benefit is that it would considerably shorten the typical combined AGS acceleration cycle, and, consequently, may yield to an improvement of beam stability, intensity and size. The AGS-FFAG will also facilitate the proposed upgrade of the AGS facility toward a 1-MW average proton beam power. The paper describes a compact FFAG design for acceleration of protons from 200 MeV to 1.5 GeV. The circumference is about 250 m. The lattice is a periodic sequence of FDF triplets of combined-function magnets. An adjusted field profile has been calculated to compensate the variation of the main lattice functions with momentum. At injection, a beam pulse 130 μs long of negative-ions (H?) is stacked with the charge-exchange method. Acceleration of one pulse with 2.5 x 1013 protons takes about 130 μs, if harmonic-jump scheme is used in conjunction with the choice of 201.25 MHz. Four of such beam pulses are required to fill entirely the AGS. The entire filling process thus takes less than one millisecond.

  Pressure rises with high intense beams are becoming the main luminosity limitation at RHIC. Observations during the latest runs show beam induced electron multipacting as one of the causes for these pressure rises. Experimental studies are carried out at RHIC using devoted instrumentation to understand the mechanism leading to electron clouds. Possible cures using NEG coated beam pipes and solenoids are experimentally tested. In the following, we report the experimental electron cloud data and analyzed the results using computer simulation codes.

  Several computer codes written at various laboratories are employed for modelling the generation and the consequences of an electron cloud. We review the most popular of these programs, which simulate either the build of an electron cloud or the instabilities it produces, and we compare simulation results for identical, or similar, input parameters obtained from the various codes.

  Intra-beam scattering is unavoidable for highly charged heavy ions and causes emittance growth during the store for collision physics. A longitudinal bunched beam stochastic cooling system will confine the bunch within the RF bucket increasing the useful luminosity. A single bunch, Palmer cooling system is under investigation. We present data and compare them with theory.

  During one millisecond of injection stacking, the RF beam current varies from 0 to 50 Amperes. The control loops of the RF system are operative throughout this process. Acceptable setpoints will be found during commissioning, but as vacuum tubes age and beam currents increase these setpoints will become less optimal. A scheme by which the system can optimize itself is presented.
